Orwell decreed, in the year forty eight
A collectivist society that we all would hate
Government surveillance, incessant control
Life without freedom, death our parole
Subordinate mind set oppressed from afar
A System that monitors where we all are
It knows where we're living, how we spend every day
Observes our activities, should we go astray
Knows all our relations, acquaintances too
Sees what we look like and all that we do
Sadly, George Orwell was entirely correct
We should have been wary and more circumspect
For whilst we rejoice in new technology
And marvel at all of the things we can see
Did nobody notice the gathering doom?
That grew into an elephant right there in the room
Millions of people all trapped in its sights
Happily recording their wrongs and their rights
Because I bet you would see (to its utter disgrace)
That Big Brother's disguised as a book with a face
Did nobody wonder why our details are crucial
To leisurely using an internet social
They gather your info and build up a file
Whilst you type and chatter, naive, all the while
So that all that you say there and all that you do
Is logged in a record that’s all about you
Yes, George was quite right and he warned us quite clearly
Big Brother is watching our lifestyle sincerely
Brain-washed and happy we all swallow the pill
But one day we’ll learn that we gave up free will.
