The Lyrics

Gonna take you down
But they're waiting for a cleaner shot
This one's not hot
Cause they might hit some hostages
SWAT teams decked out in kevlar

Shooting is easy with eyes closed
But then the target they won't see
A moving target is harder
But they're all skilled shots
Look out there's one up in the tree

Gonna take you down
But he's waiting for a better shot
Little red dot
And they might get you panicking
SWAT teams decked out in kevlar

Don't know why he's up in the tree
Must think he's safe with kevlar clothes
Course you'd better hope
You don't end up in his sights
That's one fancy sharpshooter scope

Gonna take you down
Let me make it clear
You might get killed
Overly skilled
Don't oppose them in a shoot out
SWAT teams decked out in kevlar

All of the police
Think they're neat
I think they'd love
To get on their team
Cause they would love to play army
Real GI Joes
Oh but they're forced to walk a beat

Love to take you down
They'd love throwing gas
And shooting guns
Seems so much fun
It's something they all talk about
SWAT teams decked out in kevlar
SWAT teams decked out in kevlar

I love what you do with titles sometimes, Tim....and the parody was pretty good too.

What I love about this one is the contrast between the mood of the original and your lyrics: From a trip to an acid induced la-la land, to a sniper's bullet in the head!
