[Verse 1]
A6                        A6
Working on the weekend, baby.
          F#m                                  F#m/A6 
She's working all through the night.
A6                      A6
A jump into the deep end gave her
       F#m                 F#m (A6 slide)
The evidence she required.
          A6                       A6
Takes five; she's got pearls.
          F#m                                                G
Don't fake it when it comes to making money.
           A6                           A6
So she smiles. But that's cruel.
           F#m
If you know what she thinks
                    G
If you knew what she was after.

G
Sometimes she wonders,
                 A
And she laughs in her frustration.

[Break]
A - B - C - D

[Chorus]
             Em                                     B
Would someone please explain
        Em                                                  A6
The reason for this strange behaviour.
       Em                              B
In exploitation's name
      Em                                                       A6
We must be working for the Skin Trade.

[Break]
C - B

[Verse 2]
A6
Doctors of the revolution gave us
F#m
The medicine we desired.
A6
Besides being absolutely painless
F#m
It's a question of compromise.
A6
They got steel.
A 6                F#m
So cool to get angry at the weekend
G
And go back to school.
A6
So big deal; it's what rules.
F#m                                       G
When it comes to making money,

Say yes, please; thank you.
G                                      A
Sometimes you wonder, and ask yourself the question.

[Chorus]
            Em                                    B
Would someone please explain
       Em                                                    A6
The reason for this strange behaviour.
       Em                            B
In exploitation's name
       Em                                                         A6
We must be working for the Skin Trade.

I know the answer, but I'm asking you the question.
