Lyrics
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)

This song was written by Muse’s bassist Chris Wolstenholme. The lyrics were mainly driven by his alcohol abuse in the past and how it affected him on a consistent basis. The song’s

This song, as the video shows, is about the bloodthirsty capitalists who will get what’s coming to them for eating the public alive.
