They all laugh But how could I have known. You sit stare Picking splinters from your throne. I don’t want to Walk behind you. I don’t want to Walk behind you. No body said that they would give it to you. Back in your bed someone you can see right through. You love them all But you don’t remember names. You see them smile Like they're happy that you came. I don’t want to Walk behind you. I don’t want to Walk behind you. No body said that they would give it to you. Back in your bed someone you can see right through. Good thing they had One in the bag. You act so tough They show no mercy for you. You act so tough They show no mercy for you.

Projector 03:36
What if they say no? And I’m not enough but I still need you. What if its all gone? And all I can say is I need you more. You only smile when you're wrong. I need you more. You only smile when you're wrong. I see myself Through their eyes. I see myself Through their eyes. What if I get low? You don’t understand that I still need you. What if I don’t know? And all I can say is I need you more. You only smile when you're wrong. I need you more. You only smile when you're wrong. I see myself Through their eyes. I see myself Through their eyes. Like a projector In disguise. Like a projector In my mind. I get so nervous. I get so nervous. I don’t know why. I don’t know why. I feel it in my stomach. I feel it in my bones. And you're back in the middle again With nobody. And you say that you're bringing your friends But no honey. And you're back in the middle again With nobody. And you say that you're bringing your friends But no honey. Oh you're back in the middle. Oh we’re back in the middle. And you're back in the middle again With nobody. And you say that you're bringing your friends But no honey.

Tough Kids 03:19
Show me your lines, Show me your hands. It won’t make a difference lady I’m still so lost. And if I don’t go, And if you can’t be still, I won’t follow No I won’t. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something new. Don’t tell me Tough kids are gone. Don’t tell me Tough kids are… Atticus He still haunts me. He’ll never let me go He’ll never let me be. And all this wine That I try to replace My blood with Leaves such a bitter taste. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something. Give me your hands Let me see your hands Throw me your hands Let me see. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something. I was nothing You were always something new. I was nothing You were always something new.

Caesar 04:52
You say you've got something for me But when I turn, well there you go. You say you’ve found someone to bleed But then I learn you're sinister. Because you take, you take, you take, you take So give it back. Because you take, you take, you take, you take So give it back. You're just a house on fire Let them in. You're just a house on fire Let them in. No you didn’t have to say. You didn’t have to say. I know They're right Its warmer Inside. I know They're right Its warmer Inside. You animals You animals You animals You animals You animals You animals. Julius says, He’ll never die. Julius says, My friends are right. But Brutus says, Just come inside. You say my love is blasphemy But when I look, you're all alone. I say my love is right next to me And then I look, I’m solo. Because you take, you take, you take, you take So give it back. Because you take, you take, you take, you take So give it back. I know They're right Its warmer Inside. I know They're right Its warmer Inside. You animals You animals You animals You animals You animals You animals. Jesus says, He’ll never die. Jesus says, My friend’s are fine. But Judas says, Just come inside. I know That when we come out We’ll be burnt We’ll look just fine. I know That when we come out We’ll be burnt We’ll look just fine. I know That when we come out We’ll be burnt We’ll look just fine.

What you want What you love And what is real. All the letters That you write Just how you feel. And they'll say, What happened to you? And they'll say, What happened to you? And the soldiers home And nothings changed. And the soldiers home But nothings changed. I know you feel bad, I know you feel that. What you want What you love And who you kill. Oh these things they make you look So ill. And they'll say, What happened to you? And they'll say, What happened to you? And the soldiers home And nothings changed. And the soldiers home But nothings changed. And they'll say, What happened to you? And they'll say, What happened to you? I know you feel bad, I know you feel that. I know you feel bad, I know you feel that. I want to feel. I want to feel.

about

"It's been roughly two years since the Outfit last put out an album. During that time, the band's current members — singer/guitarist Eric Johnston, bassist Mike King, drummer RJ Powers and lead guitarist Mikael Kilates — have been developing their sound, going from its earlier, highly promising indie pop to something grittier, more focused and powerful; the results can be heard on the act's new EP, Tough Kids." - Tom Murphy, Westword

"The new EP is five solid tracks that sounds reminiscent to what The Strokes were doing years ago, but with a solid mix of Dinosaur Jr. guitarist J. Mascis distorted melodic chops, with classic rock influence a la Lynyrd Skynyrd and a little Kings Of Leon as well." - Tobias Krause, The Metropolitan
