| Lyrics: | HERNANDEZ
Well, did you bring me my money,
My cab fare
My new shoes?
I got
expenses, you know
Where's my weekly dues?
SAL
I ain't giving you my fucking
money.
HERNANDEZ
Oye, mother fucker, where's this jibaro
from?
You go when
I say.
I call, you come.
You know it takes a strong man to survive.
It ain't no
accident that you're still
alive.
HERNANDEZ & THE VAMPIRES
We stand for the
neighborhood
HERNANDEZ
He still lives with his mami, but he sneaks
down,
A
coolie in the shadow of the playground
You want to fight for your people, don't
you,
Sal?
SAL
Well, yeah, if I got to.
HERNANDEZ
Oh, you got to. Come
here, I want to show
you something.
This is the cave of The Vampires,
Count
Dracula's castle,
The very sight could turn a white man grey.
Made in the shade, use my
umbrella
Black like the night we fly in.
That blade is all you need to keep the
dogs
away.
So, you want to be a vampire, man! That's
good.
We always
looking for young blood in the
neighborhood now
Carlos Apache collects the dues
So
you bring us something that we can use
HERNANDEZ & THE VAMPIRES
If you got the
balls, then come on, mette
mano,
If you got the balls, then come on,
mette
mano,
HERNANDEZ
Frenchy Cordero goes down to Hell's Kitchen
To sell
the Irish some weed
So this Paddy Boy's mother on the stoop
starts bitchin'
'Bout
spics is a mongrel breed
Now here comes her son
He looks like a ton of corned
beef
Floating in beer
He says
'Fucking Puerto Rican dope-dealing punk
Get
your shit-brown ass out of here.'
HERNANDEZ & THE VAMPIRES
'Fucking Puerto Rican
dope-dealing punk
Get your shit-brown ass out of here.'
We stand for the
neighborhood.
HERNANDEZ
So the shanty-town Irish they kicked his
ass
good.
Fractured his collar bone
Coño, all I was thinking is, 'What home
of
the brave?
This a fucking war zone'
THE VAMPIRES
If you got the balls,
then come on, mette
mano,
We stand for the neighborhood.
If you got
cojones, come on, mette mano
We stand for the neighborhood
If you got the
balls, then come on, mette
mano,
We stand for the neighborhood.
If you
got cojones, come on, mette mano
