The Land of the Not-so-Free

The rules are nonexistent, but the pieces are the same
The ones in power know how to play the game
For threatening our way of life, our enemies will pay
And They'll protect your freedoms by locking them away
Orwell knew the situation, but misconstrued the date
1984 came a tad bit late
The many are the blind, and the perceptive are the few
Look up into the sky; BIG BROTHER'S WATCHING YOU!
