It definitely doesn't exist in the US nor is Right Wing Groups a real threat to the Average Person in America. I think if they would do an update of this song- and maybe an accompanying Video- it would be BLM and Anti-FA would be the Villains. It would show Blacks attacking Innocent Jews and Asians. What I said is not Politically Correct, but it is true.

    This is an amusing new melodic version of this song. The last time I heard "you're going home in a f****** ambulance" was whenever we would have a laugh with one of my senior new Teddy Boys prep taker friend, at high school. He would say it whenever we talked about football, and also whenever his team, Colchester United, played any of his lower form friends football team, in the FA Cup, "I'm going to beat you up, if your team wins".

      Its the 2 lines:

      They just layered the second on top of the first and repeat it. I can't remember if they did it to scuff the expletive for the censors, but I remember them just repeating the two lines back to back in live shows.
