This is about George Orwell's '1984'. Endless war is one of the themes of the book, as is being punished for unproven or false crimes. Eurasia is one of the three superstates in the book, the other two being Eastasia and Oceania (the one the book takes place in). Within that context the song places the current United States, which seems to be embroiled in an endless war against terrorism, and so on. I don't agree with the premise of the song that we've gotten that bad, but we're headed in that direction.
