LYRICS

The aliens 
Are chilling out
At the edge 
Of our galaxy

In a dusty cloud
Of phosphorus
It’s frigid cold
Habitable
And perfect for
A computer
Like Fugaku
On steroids

It’s a Fermi
Question
When estimating 
The number
Of active
Civilizations

The great filter
It’s pretty hard
First ones here
So advanced
Victim of
Our own success
We’ll wipe out
While hanging ten


It’s a Fermi
Question
When estimating 
The number
Of active
Civilizations

They could have already visited us here
Or they could be watching from above
Not important enough to invade
Morally against colonising

The aliens
Are listening to
Our signals but
They’re not responding

Meteoroids
Panspermia
Asteroids
Panspermia
Planetoids
Cometoids
Thankfully panspermia

It’s a Fermi
Question
When estimating 
The number
Of active
Civilizations

They could have already visited us here
Or they could be watching from above
Not important enough to invade
Morally against colonising us

We are not unique
We are not alone 
On this
Blue marble

They’re here already
They are embedded 
In all 
Our machines

And the aliens
Can’t believe
That sentience
Is made of meat
