Song: We Demand Visual Controls
By Jon Miller
We Demand Visual Controls
(to the music of David Bowie’s “The Man Who Sold the World”)
A fax was on my desk, it spoke of promises
“My order isn't there, hey when was it sent?”
Which came as some surprise, logged in and saw the line
“We thought it shipped a long, a long, long time ago.”
Ohno, taught me
To run a Lean shop floor
You have to say
“We demand visual controls”
I sighed and shook my head, I picked up the phone
I heard the words they said, “Now our line is down.”
I gazed at the late fees, at all the millions there
“I’m sure it must have shipped, a long, long time ago.”
Ohno, taught me
To run a Lean shop floor
You have to say
“We demand visual controls”
