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)

 I'M Gonna  Go  Smoke My  Third Cigarette 
 This Year And Try  To  Snatch Some Beers
