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
