Lyrics for The 2nd Law: Unsustainable

All natural and technological processes Proceed in such a way that the availability Of the remaining energy decreases In all energy exchanges, if no energy Enters or leaves an isolated system The entropy of that system increases Energy continuously flows from being Concentrated to becoming dispersed Spread out, wasted and useless New energy cannot be created and high grade Energy is being destroyed An economy based on endless growth is un- (Unsustainable) The fundamental laws of thermodynamics will Place fixed limits on technological innovation And human advancement In an isolated system, the entropy Can only increase A species set on endless growth is un- (Unsustainable)
