The story of a boy and his vocational training program.
This song is classic Stains. Dumb prompt lead to an entire song? Check. Metal motifs? Check. Related to t-shirts? Check. Came out way better than it deserved to? Very check!
Andrew showed Ben some ridiculous, probably AI-generated t-shirts about forklift operators. And after that we were off to the races. The edgy fonts of the shirt instantly lead us to influences like Slayer and Pantera. Andrew put on his best hard-rock growl, we turned up the compressors, and our anthem for forklift operators was born.
Lyrics:
You think you’re tough? I’m the bigger threat
Stacking boxes like bodies, without breaking a sweat
You can bench 350? I can lift 3 tons
I have the tool to get any job done
I am an operator
Step back, see what I’m made of
Lift, Lift, Fork Lift
Lift, Lift, I am the machine
Lift, Lift, Fork Lift
Lift, Lift, I am the machine
You’re stuffing your tote bag, while I’m loading up trucks
You say you’re better than me, but I don’t give a *shredding*
The logistical reaper, killing SKUs with my scythe
If it were legal, my forklift would be my wife
I am an operator
Pallets tremble when I come
Lift, Lift, Fork Lift
Lift, Lift, I am the machine
Lift, Lift, Fork Lift
Lift, Lift, I am the machine
I am the machine
I am an operator
Step back, see what I’m made of
Lift, Lift, Fork Lift
Lift, Lift, I am the machine
Lift, Lift, Fork Lift
Lift, Lift, I am the machine
I am the machine
Lift, Lift, Fork Lift
Lift, Lift, I am the machine
Lift, Lift, Fork Lift
Lift, Lift, I am the machine
I am the machine
