“Lunchbox” in Guns, God and Government by Marilyn Manson

Guns, God and Government was a world tour by Marilyn Manson between 2000 and 2001, promoting the album Holy Wood. With theatrical aesthetics, social criticism, and provocative symbolism, this tour solidified Manson as a countercultural icon. The show was filmed in multiple cities, capturing the intensity of his stage performance and his defiant message against American religion, politics, and morality.

About the song: The second single from the debut album Portrait of an American Family (1994). Based on Manson’s childhood, it tells how he used his lunchbox as a weapon against bullies. The song is a declaration of resistance against school and social repression.
