* [[Cry for the Devil]]: The three ballads are used effectively in this way, but the one that seems to get the audience's sympathy most is "The Ballad of BoothCzolgosz", where assassin Leon Czolgosz's motivations are stated clearly: he was a lonely man, who all throughout his life had lived in poverty and misery for reasons beyond his control, so he killed big business president Bill McKinley to "take control of his fate."
{{quote|''Let them curse me to hell, leave it for history to tell/What I did, I did well, and I did it for my country/Let them cry 'dirty traitor!', they will understand it later/The country is not what it was... [[Sound-Only Death|*BANG*]]''}}
* [[Ear Worm]]: And it's seriously a problem. "What a wonder is a gun! What a versatile inveeeeeention!" Do not see before working with first graders and/or getting on a plane.
** "How I Saved Roosevelt" is another one you don't want to sing in public - ''"Too cold for the stomach in Washington/I go down to Miami, kill Roosevelt!"''
