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
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.

A B C D

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

C  B

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.
