Skin Trade

Duran Duran · Biggest & Best [2012]

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



Sometimes she wonders,

And she laughs in her frustration



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 rules

When it comes to making money,

Say yes, please; thank you



Sometimes you wonder, and ask yourself the question



Would someone please explain

The reason for this strange behaviour

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
