The 2nd Law: Unsustainable Songtext
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...

Unsustainable
You're 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...

Unsustainable
You're unsustainable
