Go Down Fighting with Tex and Pedro

  
     Never quit. Don’t give up the ship
     Remember the Alamo
     Go down fighting with Tex and Pedro

     No throwing in the towel
     No waving the flag of surrender
     Duke it out. Don’t be a ‘fence-mender’

     Win every battle. 
     Dominate the war
     That’s what they pay generals for

     Don’t give in to doubt
     The enemy is yours to rout
     That’s what life’s all about… 

     Until the first time you’re defeated
     And your precious blood is depleted
     Got it now? ~ WAR is an expletive deleted
