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)

 I'M Gonna  Go Smoke  My  Third Cigarette 
 This Year And Try To  Snatch  Some Beers
