They've a million ways to kill your brother instead of you

"In a modern culture
My friend you must be careful
They've a million ways to kill you
[...]
Walk away cause you're breaking up the girl"

Garbage - Breaking up the Girl (released 2001, created 2000)


Fun fact: According to the CDC's national vital statistics report for that year in the U.S.: "In 2000 the age-adjusted death rate for males of all races was 1.4 times that for females, about the same as in 1999 but continuing the trend toward convergence in mortality risk between males and females."

Well, that certainly sounds like it's "the girl" we should be broken up about, don't it folks? Men were dying so much less that women almost had it almost as bad as nearly half again as many men!

Walk away, lyricists, just walk away...
