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)

 This Year And Try To  Snatch  Some Beers
