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)
