about

"Little Vampires" is from 2004's "Great 11th Act" album. It's basically a song about advice from a paranoid father to an overachieving son.

lyrics

It's not the size of your pen but how big you write your name
Sonny, adhere to the object of the game
Stay true to the family plan
Bow down not to any man
Advice can drive you inside!

Know the wolves you run with ~ Don't fall patsy to desires
And look out for Little Vampires!

Dot your I's and J's and keep your power to your brood
Don't take on giant cities unprepared
Careful what you do down south!
Spit out what is in your mouth!
They'll sink their fangs into you!

Liar! Liar! Soul's on fire!
Careful what you choose ... and look out for Little Vampires!

Those vampires will:
Tax your castle ~ Tax your moat
Tax your gators ~ Tax your goat
Tax your sternum ~ Tax your throat
Tax your trousers ~ Tax your coat
Tax your tunes and big TV ~ Tax your gas and SUV
Tax your children ~ Tax your wife
Tax your tax and tax your life
Tax your books of poetry ~ Tax you for eternity ~ Tax your casket
After that there's bloody inheritance tax
Forever there's their aftermath

Trust the pack you run with, boy, and watch your P's and Q's
Memorize your atmosphere and gather all the clues
And look out for Little Vampires!

“Careful what you wish for,” I can still hear Pappy say
“Sonny, hate the player, always love your game”
Travel swift to beat their rap or fall into their booby trap
They'll suck the blood oudda you!

Liar! Liar! Truth defilers cast a spell on you
Don't let your fingers trip their wires
Careful or you're screwed! ... and beware of Little Vampires!
