[Verse 1]
A6             A6
Working on the weekend, baby.
       F#m                    F#m/A6 slide thing
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.

[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.

[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.
