Yo, RAIVS Unit, let's work it

IVES IVES Baby
IVES IVES Baby

To the new Coordinator listen
Management has a new express system
It's supposed to make the bulk work flow
With some two hours intense maximum training
Will I ever catch on? I don't know
Turn up the heat, I might groan
To the extreme, I'm not so sure I can handle
Haphazard training, it's a shame and a scandal
Switch, tune out the trainers that yell
They play with your mind, make you feel like a dumbbell
Manual adjustments, remind us now
When are they plus and then when are they minus now
Use the right format, you got to make rates
You got to be perfect, QR* don't play
If you make a mistake, you can solve it
Before the batch is released, just dissolve it

CHORUS:
IVES IVES Baby, RAIVS Unit (repeat 4x)

Now that the unit is jumpin'
With the orders in, the hear muscle is pumpin'
Got to remember the FRS number
SSN, tracking, or you'll look dumber
If you don't save every last adjustment
Nor will TDS and you'll be busted
If I forget any step I'll wreck it
Transaction history--got to recheck it
Changes to the system--wow!
There's so many steps to remember now

Participants stand by, waiting to be verified
'Did you stop?' No, I just worked on
Just had to process every batch
I busted one out and I'm started on the next one
That batch was wrong, yo
I took it back to my personal office cubicle

Clerks were not getting done what they hoped for
Managers were pushing inventory
Looking for wage and income--where?
In the drop-down menu, but it isn't there
Makes you want to climb up the wall
The clerks gettin' ill 'cause they're behind the 8-ball
Waiting for this day to end
I'm so confused and my mind is bent
Swipin' on the proxy card fast
Ran out the door and hit the gas
Batches and batches of IVES will be back
Another workin' day and I'll be feelin' jacked
An error I see, no order ID
Don't let it slip--you must correct it quickly
If you make a mistake, you can solve it
Before the batch is released, just dissolve it

CHORUS: REPEAT

Take heed, 'cause I'm an IRS poet
Brady's* in the house just in case you didn't know it
The techs that created this new program
Were sure it would simplify everything
Is there anything else that I missed
Lots of details for which I'm gonna be dissed
You need a live date, a stamp will not be accepted
Not written in, then you have to reject it
Hold on just a sec, strike that, reverse it
Guess after all they can be worked
Cover sheets you must check
For the small asterisk to know what they expect

Here's a participant whose anger is strong
Someone faxed a reject letter facing wrong
If you make a mistake, you can solve it
Before the batch is released, just dissolve it

CHORUS: REPEAT

Yo, clerks, let's get out of here
Word to your manager

IVES IVES Baby, too tough
IVES IVES Baby, too rough, too rough (repeat 3x)
