This is the kind of song that get's guys like good old Marilyn Manson in 'trouble' in the media. It is an irresponsible promotion of school violence and I happen to love it. My best friend Kyle Gadhue commited suicide last year and this song was on a Manson mix CD he had burned for his own collection. I grabbed it when his girlfriend said I could have some of his stuff to remember him by. I had always listened to certain Manson songs on Burlington, Vermont radio station 99.9 THE BUZZ but I had never owned his albums, so I had never heard this song before finding it in my dead friend's collection. I think it is my favorite Manson song. I never knew about the metal lunchbox as a weapon thing so I am glad I read the prior entries on this site for this song. I always thought it was about Columbine High School but maybe I have it backwards and the Columbine High School attack was about this song! Life imitating art imitating life....

@modus the Columbine shooters were very much anti-Manson--they couldn't stand him.
