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
