Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.
Respect the structure
Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.
Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)
Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.
Don’t mix versions
If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.
Let the lyrics be lyrics
This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.
Edit lightly
If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’
When in doubt, ask the crowd
Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
Who really knows what this song is about, if anything, but it certainly is one of the electronic masterpieces of the 90's.
The album that it appears on, Music For the Jilted Generation, had an overall theme of youth rebellion against the British government who had passed the Criminal Justice Act of 1994 (read about that elsewhere).
This song is known, among other things, for its famous shattering glass effects. Based on the samples in this song, as well as the overall mood, and the title of course, I am led to believe that it might be about the government breaking into parties to go after ravers, or perhaps in a more symbolic way it could represent the invasion of authority into the people's domain (in this case, the life of many partygoers at the time).
As far as the lyrics are concerned, which are only one line, I have no idea what they mean. They are done by Baby D "Casanova" and that's all I know. Either way, this is one of the great electronic songs of its era and has influenced many later works by various artists.

@AudiDriver great analysis and write up mate.

2 me it's simply the intro song of Music 4 the Jilted Generation. So it means "Brake and Enter" in the Album. Dunno...
I keep thinking it's "Bring your car to work" - like Prodigy rebelling against public transport.
...probably not though.
