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)
