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)
