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
Conyo, 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

I believe that Paul Simon tried to explain why and how Salvador got envolved in that kind of life, to a point to become a murderer without having any conciousness of his acts. Paul never said he was innocent, but maybe unaware about what he had done. Maybe he had the evil inside him, what is a possibility, 'cause some people are evil by nature. In my opinion Paul Simon believe that Salvador was a kind of slave of some kind of gangue and had no option but to obbey to their "superiors" or "bosses" in a way to remain alive. He had the "bad luck" to be cautch and, of course, had to pay for his crimes.You can see his apparent coldness when asked about his crimes, but that reflects only his lack of maturity and, perhaps, the fact that he is protecting the real criminal behind his acts. I'm not defending him and I think his acts were heiniuos, abominable and had to be paid according to the law. But, others surelly should also be involved and prosecuted as well.Paul Simon speaks allways in first person when talkin with Salvador "Well, did you bring me my money..." "fucking puerto rican dope-dealing punk, get your shit brown ass out of here". This means submition to someone powerfull, to whom Salvador couldn't do anything but simply obbey. Otherwise he would face death.Anyway, although Salvador had been a murderer, he was nothing but another victim of the unfair social conditions imposed by the lack of support to the immigrants to the USA at that time. If I'm wrong, I apologize, but that's what I think..9 years ago

There is a typo it should be mete with only one t. It is the imperative of the verb meter which means to put. In this context is an idiomatic expression that is used to challenge the other to carry out the threat. Mete mano can also be used in other contexts like to have sex: Ellos estaban en el carro metiendo mano (They were having sex in the car) or to express the feeling that work was done diligently, decisively and intensly like in: Todos pensaron que era imposible llegar a la luna pero los americanos "metieron mano" y lo lograron(everybody thougt that it was imposible to get to the moon but the americans "put themselves into it {work diligently, intensly and decisively}" and succeded.10 years ago

Your hearing experience, I'm afraid, is far biased. A genuine rock' n' roll piece is always about social phenomenon. Try not to mistake it for those made just to entertain.10 years ago

What a complete non-fan thing to say....blaming an artist for telling a TRUE story and embracing the language that would take place within the story, would be a discredit to Paul Simon, artist and art lovers everywhere. So, Fuckin anti-paul simon, puke spewing scum!, get your bullshit ass outta here! .10 years ago

As a mammoth Paul Simon fan, this song is distressing. I'm not a prude, but hearing the greatest lyricist of all-time who also happens to have one of the sweetest voices in popular music history drop f-bombs is cringetastic. In fact, I cannot think of a singer in the history of popular music who sounds more out of place singing f-words than Paul Simon, not even Art Garfunkel. Wrong, wrong, wrong. Luckily every other album excepting "You're The One" is magic.11 years ago
