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)
