Hank Green - Fermi paradox

^D In 1950 in ^CLos Alamos a ^Dscientist was talking with hi^Cs friends, ^DAnd the conversation had them all ^Cfully engrossed about this^D universe that

^Calmost has no ^Gend. ^CAnd as they were all about to return to their study

^GEnrico suddenly shouted, "Where is everybody?!" ^DAnd he sat down and did a few simple calculations

^Dthat indicated we should have been visited thousands of times ^Dat least based on his estimations

^GAnd that's the Fermi ^CParadox ^GIf they're out there ^Cwhy don't we hear 'em talk

^Dthe galaxy just keeps on ^Cspinnin' ^Dwith four hundred ^Gbillion stars in it

^Fand I just can't believe ^Cthat we could be unique

^Fwhen there's so much space ^Cin this galaxy ^DOh I want ^CPandora's ^GBox

^Dto be open but instead we're stuck in ^CFermi's ^GParadox ^DThere are dozens of ways this ^Cparadox might be resolved

^DAnd you probably ^Ccan think of some ^Dyourself ^DMaybe advanced technology ^Crarely evolves

^DOr maybe God ^Csent them all ^Gto Hell ^COr maybe that technology leads to its own destruction

^GOr maybe species lose interest in reproduction ^DOr maybe they're just afraid of what we'll do when we find out

^Dso they're hiding until we grow a bit ^DAnd don't have the same tendency to frequently freak out!

^GOh that's the Fermi ^CParadox ^GIf they're out there ^Cwhy don't they talk

^Dthe galaxy just keeps on ^Cspinnin' ^Dwith four hundred ^Gbillion stars in it

^Fand I just can't believe ^Cthat we could be unique

^Fwhen there's so much space ^Gin this galaxy ^DOh I want ^CPandora's ^GBox

^Dto be open but instead we're stuck in ^CFermi's ^GParadox ^DOh the question of whether ^Cthere is more life out there

^DAs far as ^CI'm concerned ^Gis moot. ^DBut it appears that the aliens ^Cdo not use Foursquare

^Dand no I'm not ^Ctrying ^Gto be cute ^CBecause the way that we listen is defined by our ears

^Gand the time that we've been listening, just a couple dozen years ^DWe'll be lucky if we see them if we notice them at all

^DOur cosmic phone could be ringing off the hook right now ^DAnd we're just not answering the call.

^GOh that's the Fermi ^CParadox ^GIf they're out there ^Cwhy don't they talk

^Dthe galaxy just keeps on ^Cspinnin' ^Dwith four hundred ^Gbillion stars in it

^Fand I just can't believe ^Cthat we could be unique

^Fwhen there's so much space ^Cin this galaxy ^DOh I want ^CPandora's ^GBox

^Dto be open but instead we're stuck in ^CFermi's ^GParadox ^DOh yeah, we're stuck in ^CFermi's ^GParadox

^DOh no! we're ^Cstuck in Fermi's ^GParadox ^DOh yeah, we're stuck in ^CFermi's ^GParadox
