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
