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
