Duran Duran 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

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
To 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

Would someone please explain
(Would someone please explain)
The reason for this strange behavior
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade

I know the answer
But I'm asking you the question

Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade

Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior
(The reason for this strange behavior)
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade

Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior
