“There are many ways of killing. You can stick a knife in someone’s stomach, take someone’s bread away, not cure someone’s illness, put someone in a bad apartment, work someone to death, drive someone to suicide, take someone to war, etc.. Only a few of these are prohibited in our country”

„Reicher Mann und armer Mann standen da und sah'n sich an.

Und der Arme sagte bleich, wär ich nicht arm, wärst du nicht reich."

- Bertholt Brecht

[senso1954]

from the ending of Trommeln in der Nacht (drums at night), Bertholt Brecht, 1918. (own translation)

John Darnielle said there are three ways to get out of an untenable situation: the Machine (Jenny), the Divine (Stable Boy Song) and the Horrors (The Day the Aliens Came). Alternatively, there are three ways to cope—a friend/lover, your own faith, or outside substances.

All three of these songs are Pirate Jenny but Brecht/Weill could write none of them.
