Skin Trade Lyrics By Duran Duran

    working on the weekend baby
    she’s working all through the night
    a jump into the deep end gave her
    the evidence she required
    takes five she’s got pearls
    don’t fake it when it comes to making money
    so she smiles but that’s cruel
    if you know what she thinks
    if you knew what she was after

    pre
    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
    they got steel
    so cool to get angry at the weekend
    and go back to school
    so big deal it’s what rule
    when it comes to making money
    say yes please thank you

    pre
    sometimes you wonder
    and ask yourself 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
    in exploitation’s name
    we must be working for the skin trade

    hook
    i know the answer
    but you asking 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
    in exploitation’s name
    we must be working for the skin trade

    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
    in exploitation’s name
    we must be working for the skin trade
