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)
