Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Lunchbox by Marylin Manson

Kids, roller skating, lunchboxes, playing makeup, Marilyn Manson... wait what?

Today's Metal Track is Lunchbox by Marilyn Manson. This is the opening track off of his 1994 debut album Portrait of an American Family. This song was inspired by Florida legislation in 1972 that made it illegal for kids to take metal lunchboxes to school because many were using them as weapons. The song talks about Manson as a kid when he was pushed around bullies.
