Fermi'S Paradox      
                          
                                          
 On  Earth  (The Planet Where I  Live)  A 
 Lot  Of  Us Have Antennas  On Our Houses 
 Or  Balconies,   We   Have  Built  Large 
 Antennas For  Larger  Bandwith,  We Have 
      Build Specialized Antennaes For     
   Specific Wavelengths (And Sent Them    
 Into  Orbit), We'Ve Built  Large As Fuck 
              Antenna Arrays              
 We'Ve Virtually Built  An Antenna With A 
         Dish As Large As Earth.          
                                          
 We'Ve Learned About Our Position In  The 
      Solar System, Our Solar Systems     
 Placement   In  The   Galaxy,   And  Our 
 Galaxys  Placement In The Local Cluster, 
 And  Our Local  Clusters Place In  The 
          Grand Scheme Of Things          
                                          
 And  We'Re  Moving  Around  The  Sun  At 
 Velocity And The Suns Moving Around  The 
 Center Of The  Galaxy  At  Velocity  And 
 The Galaxy Is  Moving  Toward  Andromeda 
    And We'Re Both Moving Anticlockwise   
 Around The  Galaxy. And We  As A Species 
 Have Learned To Take All That In Account 
                                          
 And  Despite All This,  Despite All  Our 
    (Cliche) Beaming Of Fucking Stellar   
 Radio  Programmes Out  In  Fucking Space 
 At The  Speed  Of  Light  (Light Is  Our 
 Medium! Goodspeed You, Black Emperor!),  
      Despite Ghosts Helping And The      
     Collective Consciousness Lowpass     
   Filtering, Despite Our Very Obvious    
 Beaming Of  All  Our  Secrets  In  Every 
          Direction Known To Us,          
                                          
 No       One       Has       Answered

             So Why Is That?              
                                          
 Most Opponents  To Intelligent  Life  In 
 The Universe Say  It'S  Because You Need 
 A Class One-Or-The-Other  Star  And  The 
 Planet  Needs  To  Be  At  A  See-And-So 
 Distance Away From The  Star (Like There 
           Has To Be A Planet!)           
                                          
 But   Really  Isn'T   That  Keeping  The 
      Definition Of Life Really Lax?      
                                          
 I Think  Everyone Agrees That We Have No 
 Idea What  We'Re Doing (And  It Probably 
                  Shows)

 This Year And  Try To  Snatch Some Beers
