The Vampires (5:06)
HERNANDEZ
Well, did you bring me my money,
My cab fare
My new shoes?
I got expenses, you know
Where's my weekly dues?
I ain't giving you my fucking money.
HERNANDEZ
Oye, mother fucker, where's this jibaro
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
A coolie in the shadow of the playground
You want to fight for your people, don't
you, 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
So, you want to be a vampire, man! That's
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
If you got the balls, then come on, mette
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
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
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
We stand for the neighborhood.
If you got cojones, come on, mette mano
