Lyrics

[00:11.98] Working on the weekend, baby.
[00:16.95] She's working all through the night.
[00:22.42] A jump into the deep end gave her
[00:27.51] The evidence she required.
[00:32.44] Takes five; she's got pearls.
[00:38.33] Don't fake it when it comes to making money.
[00:42.57] So she smiles. But that's cruel.
[00:49.16] If you know what she thinks
[00:51.43] If you knew what she was after.
[00:54.68]
[00:55.59]
[00:56.28] Sometimes she wonders,
[00:59.35] And she laughs in her frustration.
[01:02.89]
[01:05.16] Would someone please explain
[01:10.36] The reason for this strange behaviour.
[01:15.62] In exploitation's name
[01:20.92] We must be working for the Skin Trade.
[01:25.50]
[01:29.40]
[01:37.27] Doctors of the revolution gave us
[01:42.50] The medicine we desired.
[01:47.53] Besides being absolutely painless
[01:52.81] It's a question of compromise.
[01:57.72] They got steel.
[02:00.50] So cool to get angry at the weekend
[02:06.06] And go back to school.
[02:08.51] So big deal; it's what rules.
[02:14.00] When it comes to making money,
[02:17.01] Say yes, please; thank you.
[02:19.50]
[02:21.61] Sometimes you wonder, and ask yourself the question.
[02:28.69]
[02:30.53] Would someone please explain
[02:35.99] The reason for this strange behaviour.
[02:40.85] In exploitation's name
[02:46.46] We must be working for the Skin Trade.
[02:50.95]
[02:56.92]
[03:25.75] I know the answer, but I'm asking you the question.
[03:32.62]
[03:34.28] Would someone please explain
[03:39.83] The reason for this strange behaviour.
[03:45.13] In exploitation's name
[03:50.15] We must be working for the Skin Trade.
[03:53.68] Repeat.
