This is either a *very* obscure punk song, or they wrote it as a spoof of The Clash specifically for this skit, because I can't find it anywhere by Googling the lyrics:
Johnny's in a riot in the street
Windows smashed by the police
I'm bored of working in the factory
But I don't wanna be on the dole
Rudy took a ball to the face
And ??? rubbish bin
You won't find me at the disco
Hey Rod Stewart is the king of the fools
There's a riot in London
Do you like my clothes?
There's a riot in London on the radio
There's a war in Britain
Take a look at my clothes
Enjoy our music on the radio
The missing lyric is "And I set fire to a rubbish bin."

What punk song did they play in the Elton John meets the King %26amp; Queen sketch on Saturday Night Live?Not a Sham 69 song, as another poster stated. It's an original tune written for the skit. Fred Armisen is huge punk fan and former artist. He also wrote "Fistfight in the Parking Lot," which was featured in a sketch last season.
