A
Working on the weekend, baby.
       F#m
She's working all through the night.
   A
A jump into the deep end gave her
      F#m
The evidence she required.
       A
Takes five; she's got pearls.
       F#m                             G
Don't fake it when it comes to making money.
         A
So she smiles. But that's cruel.
   F#m
If you know what she thinks
         G
If you knew what she was after.

G
Sometimes she wonders,
          A
And she laughs in her frustration.

Chorus:
       Em                  B
Would someone please explain
      Em                             A
The reason for this strange behaviour.
   Em                 B
In exploitation's name
    Em                               A
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

Sometimes you wonder
And ask yourself the question

Chorus - x2

I know the answer
But you asking the question

Chorus - x4
