Rust never sleeps

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You've got to kill to stay alive
Show them no fear, show them no pain

(Iron Maiden, "The mercenary")

E scappò via con la paura di arrugginire,
il giornale di ieri lo dà morto arrugginito.
I becchini ne raccolgono spesso
tra la gente che si lascia piovere addosso


(Fabrizio de Andrè, "La canzone del padre")

And I still can hear him say:

You’re all just pissin’ in the wind
You don’t know it but you are.

And there ain’t nothin’ like a friend
Who can tell you you’re just pissin’ in the wind.

(Neil Young, "Ambulance blues")
