| − | The earliest recording of Lunchbox dates back to January 1991, inspired by a piece of legislation established in 1972 which makes in illegal for children to bring metal lunchboxes to school. Because of the sampling of “Fire” by singer Arthur Brown, the intro with the child, and the song’s story, Lunchbox is sometimes regarded as “adequate” despite becoming a popular single and played at numerous concerts. While the track has a catchy chorus, like many Manson songs, it addresses issues deeper than the premise. Lyrically it is about a bullied boy who comes to school with a metal lunchbox to use as a weapon against his attackers, desiring to become better than they’ll ever be. But Lunchbox particularly draws attention to what kind of morality should be attributed to youth rebellion, if there is any to begin with. In the song, Manson repeats the words “POW POW POW” which is universally known as the sound a gunshot makes. It seems anything can become a weapon in the eye of the American conservative consciousness, and any hint of rebellion must be stifled. It’s a fun song which takes charge against the shell America encapsulates its youth in, and how important it is for kids to break out of that shell and become, as it’s written in child-speak, “a big rock and roll star.”
