x 3 Oh, the periphery They throw good parties there Those peripheral idiots Always have a bite to bear Bear it if you can If you really want to Go to the periphery Have them celebrate your name Have them forge you a pedigree and then you'll be Left to run the races lame Run it if you want If you think it's worth it But not with me Cause I don't appreciate People who Don't appreciate All that loving must've been lackin' something If I got bored tryin' to figure you out You let me down I don't even like you anymore at all {Continues as for first verse and Chorus} Oh, the periphery I lost another one there He found a prettier girl than me With a more even-tempered air And if he wants her, he should get her Cause I think he thinks she's worth it And maybe they'll move from the periphery By themselves, or on a plot of land And I'll care in a different capacity, I'll just be Hoping he makes a good family man And if he finds himself yearning For his throne on the silly side Nothing wrong as long as he's learning Besides, you can take it up with his brethren Or with his bride, just not with me Cause I don't appreciate People who Don't appreciate All that loving must've been lackin' something If I got bored tryin' to figure you out You let me down I don't even like you anymore at all Extro Oh, the periphery Oh, the periphery Oh, the periphery Oh, the periphery (repeat through the outro, steady beat, vocals with expression) Stole you away Away, away Stole you away, away (percussion to fade)
