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
