Lunchbox
Marilyn Manson · Portrait Of An American Family
On we plow
The big bully try to stick his finger in my chest
Try to tell me, tell me he's the best
But I don't really give a good goddamn 'cause
I got my lunchbox and I'm armed real well
I got my lunchbox and I'm armed real well
I got my lunchbox and I'm armed real well
I wanna grow up
I wanna be a big rock and roll star
I wanna grow up
I wanna be
So no one fucks with me
I got my pencils in my pocket, try to put me down
Wanna go out, gotta get out to the playground
Gonna throw down at the playground
I wanna go out
Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
Next motherfucker gonna get my metal
Next motherfucker
Pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow
Pow, pow, pow
I wanna grow up
I wanna be a big rock and roll star
I wanna grow up
I wanna be
So no one fucks with me
Yeah
I wanna grow up
I wanna be a big rock and roll star
I wanna grow up
I wanna be
So no one fucks with me
I wanna grow up
I wanna be a big rock and roll star
I wanna grow up
I wanna be
So no one fucks with me
Lunchbox
Lunchbox stands as a standout track from Marilyn Manson's 1994 debut album, Portrait of an American Family. The song captures the raw, industrial edge that defined the band's early work, blending distorted guitars with Manson's theatrical vocal delivery. Released during a period when the group was establishing its unique identity within the alternative rock landscape, the recording showcases the dark, unsettling atmosphere characteristic of the album. It reflects the band's exploration of domestic themes twisted through a lens of surreal horror. As part of a discography that would later achieve significant commercial success, this early recording remains a vital piece of their catalog, illustrating the foundational sound that propelled them into the mainstream consciousness.
