| + | *The song was inspired by a piece of legislation dating back to 1972, which makes it illegal to have metal lunchboxes in schools. It tells the story of a school age child who is bullied and uses his own lunchbox as a weapon in retaliation, waiting for the day he can "grow up to be a big rock & roll star" who is never intimidated by others. | ||
| + | *The earliest recording of this song dates back to the band's ''[[After School Special]]'' cassette tape, released in December 1991. | ||
| + | *The album version of "Lunchbox" samples the song "Fire" by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown. | ||
| + | *During the [[Dead to the World (tour)|Dead to the World tour]] the line "I wanna be a big rock and roll star" was often sang with updated lyrics "I wanna be Antichrist Superstar". | ||
| + | *Sections of the song were used as an outro to ''[[Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)]]'' during the [[Rape of the World (tour)|Rape of the World tour]]. Once [[Tim Skold]] left the band however, it was replaced with ''[[Rock 'n' Roll Nigger]]''. | ||

" We just did a video for "Lunchbox" on Monday, and he's in it."</ref> features a boy being bullied by two older students. The boy goes home, fed up with the way he is treated, and shaves his head and prepares for any future retaliation against the bullies with his metal lunchbox. The boy later goes to the rollerskating rink where [[Marilyn Manson (band)|Marilyn Manson]] is performing. The boy gives [[Marilyn Manson|Manson]] his lunchbox, which Manson lights on fire and parades around. The video ends with the boy staring into the burning lunchbox. It is one of the few music videos where Manson performs without wearing makeup. |
