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
