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)
