Skin Trade

Would someone please explain

Besides being absolutely painless
In exploitation's name
I know the answer
And she laughs in her frustration
Doctors of the revolution gave us
The medicine we desired
Would someone please explain

We must be working for the skin trade
The reason for this strange behavior
So big deal, it's what rules

Would someone please explain
Take five, she's got pearls
You've got steel, it's so cool

If you knew what she'd think, if you knew what she was after
(The reason for this strange behavior)
The reason for this strange behavior
Don't fake it when it comes to making money

We must be working for the skin trade
Sometimes you wonder
We must be working for the skin trade
Would someone please explain
The reason for this strange behavior
In exploitation's name
Sometimes she wonders

When it comes to making money, say yes, please, thank you
We must be working for the skin trade
So she smiles, but that's cruel
In exploitation's name
But I'm asking you the question
Would someone please explain
A jump into the deep end
Gave her the evidence she required
In exploitation's name
To get angry at the weekend then go back to school
(Would someone please explain)

The reason for this strange behavior
It's a question of compromise
And you ask yourself the question
