"Lunchbox" is the second single by the band Marilyn Manson. The track is taken from their debut album, Portrait of an American Family.
"Lunchbox" samples elements from the film Wild at Heart and from the song "Fire" by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.
Inspired by a piece of legislation dating back to 1972, which makes it illegal to have metal lunchboxes in schools, the song 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.
"Down in the Park" is a cover of 1979 Gary Numan/Tubeway Army track. The "Highschool Drop-outs" version is an edit of the album version which removes the profanity.
A music video was also made for the song, directed by Richard Kern.
