D5 C5 D5 C5 In 1950 in Los Alamos a scientist was talking with his friends, D5 C5 D5 And the conversation had them all fully engrossed about this universe that C5 G5 almost has no end. C5 And as they were all about to return to their study G5 Enrico suddenly shouted, "Where is everybody?!" D5 And he sat down and did a few simple calculations D5 that indicated we should have been visited thousands of times D5 at least based on his estimations G5 C5 And that's the Fermi Paradox G5 C5 If they're out there why don't we hear 'em talk D5 C5 the galaxy just keeps on spinnin' D5 G5 with four hundred billion stars in it F5 and I just can't believe C5 that we could be unique F5 C5 when there's so much space in this galaxy D5 C5 G5 Oh I want Pandora's Box D5 C5 G5 to be open but instead we're stuck in Fermi's Paradox D5 C5 There are dozens of ways this paradox might be resolved D5 C5 D5 And you probably can think of some yourself D5 C5 Maybe advanced technology rarely evolves D5 C5 G5 Or maybe God sent them all to Hell C5 Or maybe that technology leads to its own destruction G5 Or maybe species lose interest in reproduction D5 Or maybe they're just afraid of what we'll do when we find out D5 so they're hiding until we grow a bit D5 And don't have the same tendency to frequently freak out! G5 C5 Oh that's the Fermi Paradox G5 C5 If they're out there why don't they talk D5 C5 the galaxy just keeps on spinnin' D5 G5 with four hundred billion stars in it F5 and I just can't believe C5 that we could be unique F5 G5 when there's so much space in this galaxy D5 C5 G5 Oh I want Pandora's Box D5 C5 G5 to be open but instead we're stuck in Fermi's Paradox D5 C5 Oh the question of whether there is more life out there D5 C5 G5 As far as I'm concerned is moot. D5 C5 But it appears that the aliens do not use Foursquare D5 C5 G5 and no I'm not trying to be cute C5 Because the way that we listen is defined by our ears G5 and the time that we've been listening, just a couple dozen years D5 We'll be lucky if we see them if we notice them at all D5 Our cosmic phone could be ringing off the hook right now D5 And we're just not answering the call. G5 C5 Oh that's the Fermi Paradox G5 C5 If they're out there why don't they talk D5 C5 the galaxy just keeps on spinnin' D5 G5 with four hundred billion stars in it F5 and I just can't believe C5 that we could be unique F5 C5 when there's so much space in this galaxy D5 C5 G5 Oh I want Pandora's Box D5 C5 G5 to be open but instead we're stuck in Fermi's Paradox D5 C5 G5 Oh yeah, we're stuck in Fermi's Paradox D5 C5 G5 Oh no! we're stuck in Fermi's Paradox D5 C5 G5 Oh yeah, we're stuck in Fermi's Paradox
