Lyrics

[00:00.00] Skin Trade (Radio Cut)
[00:03.74] Duran Duran
[00:06.59]
[00:11.79] Working on the weekend, baby.
[00:16.89] She's working all through the night.
[00:22.14] A jump into the deep end gave her
[00:27.46] The evidence she required.
[00:32.62] Takes five; she's got pearls.
[00:37.77] Don't fake it when it comes to making money.
[00:43.36] So she smiles. But that's cruel.
[00:48.41] If you know what she thinks
[00:51.33] If you knew what she was after.
[00:56.42] Sometimes she wonders,
[00:59.08] And she laughs in her frustration.
[01:04.74] Would someone please explain
[01:10.12] The reason for this strange behaviour.
[01:15.42] In exploitation's name
[01:20.75] We must be working for the Skin Trade.
[01:26.47] ~~~~~~
[01:37.17] Doctors of the revolution gave us
[01:42.19] The medicine we desired.
[01:47.54] Besides being absolutely painless
[01:52.82] It's a question of compromise.
[01:57.69] They got steel.
[02:00.59] So cool to get angry at the weekend
[02:05.97] And go back to school.
[02:08.26] So big deal; it's what rules.
[02:13.79] When it comes to making money,
[02:16.76] Say yes, please; thank you.
[02:21.25] Sometimes you wonder, and ask yourself the question.
[02:30.16] Would someone please explain
[02:35.45] The reason for this strange behaviour.
[02:40.74] In exploitation's name
[02:46.18] We must be working for the Skin Trade.
[02:51.63] ~~~~~~
[03:25.73] I know the answer, but I'm asking you the question.
[03:34.12] Would someone please explain
[03:39.43] The reason for this strange behaviour.
[03:44.60] In exploitation's name
[03:49.95] We must be working for the Skin Trade.
[03:55.41] Would someone please explain
[03:59.95] The reason for this strange behaviour.
[04:05.96] In exploitation's name
[04:11.36] We must be working for the Skin Trade.
[04:16.82]
