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
