Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Sometimes she wonder
And she laugh in her frustration
[Verse 3]
Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior?
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade
[Verse 4]
Doctors of the revolution gave us
The medicine we desired
Besides being absolutely painless
It's a question of compromise
They got steel, and so cool
To get angry at the weekend
Then go back to school
So big deal, it's what rules
When it comes to making money
Say yes, please, than you
[Verse 5]
Sometimes she wonder
And you ask yourself the question
[Verse 6]
Would someone please explain, would some please explain
The reason for this strange behavior?
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade
[Verse 7]
I know the answer
But I'm asking you the question
[Verse 8]
Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior?
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade
[Verse 9]
Would someone please explain
The reason for this, the reason for this strange behavior?
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade
[Verse 10]
Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior?
