| This song is about the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act passed in the UK in 1994, which basically restricted the rights and increased penalties of various practices which the right-wing viewed as dangerous, like squatting, various forms of activism, raves, and so on. So this song is a reaction both to the direct "crackdown" against ravers, but also against the suppression of the individual's freedoms. | |

| This has to be my favourite Prodigy song - the beats are just mind-blowing. The lyrics actually are: "What we're dealing with here is a total lack of respect for the law" I'm the law, and you can't breach the law Fuck 'em, and their law Crackdown at sundown | |

| Actually the song was a direct response to an Act of Parliament prohibiting large-scale raves in the mid 90s. Hence "crackdown at sundown". | |
