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
