Skin Trade Lyrics

The song Skin Trade is performed by Duran Duran in the album named Decade: Greatest Hits in the year 1989 .



Working on the weekend baby, she's working all through the night
A jump into the deep end gave her the evidence she required
Take five, she's got pearls, don't fake it when it comes to making money
So she smiles but that's cruel if you knew what she'd think
If you knew what she was after

Sometimes she wonders and she laughs in her frustration

Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior?
In exploitation's name
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
You've got steel, it's 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, thank you

Sometimes you wonder and you ask yourself the question

Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior?
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade

Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior?
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
The reason for this strange behavior?
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade

Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior?
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade

Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior?
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade

Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior?
In exploitation's name
We must be working for the skin trade
