  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

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 yeah, we're stuck in Fermi's Paradox

D5            C5                G5
Oh no! we're stuck in Fermi's Paradox

D5                       C5       G5
