Lunchbox Lyrics


Next motherfucker's gonna get my metal

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 want to grow up
I want to be a big rock and roll star
I want to grow up
I want to be
So no one fucks with me, yeah
I got the pencils in my pocket, try to put me down
Want to go out, gotta get out to the playground
Want to throw down at the playground
I want to 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

Lunchbox
  • This is about a young boy who is bullied at school and immerses himself in rock music to drown the pain. It is somewhat autobiographical. The album was exploring the fears of the average middle-class, Christian, conservative, white trash family, and one of them is that their child will become a "Punk Rocker."
  • The single was released on January 24, 1995 - the band's second single that year, the first being "Sweet Dreams." It featured the album version of the song, as well as four remixes - "Next Motherf***er," "Brown Bag," "Metal" and "Highschool Dropouts" - and a cover of Gary Numan's "Down in the Park." Most of the remixes just changed the intros or sound bytes, and "Highschool Dropouts" was simply the radio edit which muted out the obscenities.
  • Manson wrote about lunchboxes in this song because in Florida, where he was living at the time, the schools had banned metal lunchboxes because the children were hitting each other in the head with them. Manson used to have a metal KISS lunchbox which he used to defend himself at school. (thanks, Phil - Rockville, MD)
  • The music video, which dramatized the song, featured the band singing near a roller rink. It was included on "Dead to the World".
  • There is a 1993 CD which features demos of the band performing this and several other songs while they were still called "The Spooky Kids." It is called "Demos In Lunchbox."
