Skin Trade lyrics

Working on the weekend baby

She's working all through the night

A jump into the deep end

Gave her the evidence she required

Take five, she's got pearls

Don't fake it when it comes

To making money so

She smiles, but that's cruel

If you knew what she'd think

If you knew what she was after

Sometimes she wonders

And she laughs in her frustration

[Chorus:]

Would someone please explain

The reason for this strange behavior

In exploitation's name

We must be working for the skin trade

Doctors of the revolution gave us

the medicine we desired

Besides being absolutely painless

It's a question of compromise

You've got steel, it's so cool,

Get angry at the weekend

then go back to school

So big deal, it's what rules

When it comes to making money

Say yes, please, thank you

Sometimes you wonder,

And you ask yourself the question

[Chorus]

I know the answer

But I'm asking you the question

[Chorus]x3
