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
