## Order

**Bubblegum Renegade**, formerly known as **Neo Trio Song**, **New Outro Song**, and **Season 2 Ending Theme** is an original song that takes place in a universe where the characters are in the 1950s, while the song itself centers around the character of "**The Bubblegum Renegede**". The song was listed as the $50K reward for The Prison of Plastic Kickstarter. It's considered as the 3rd ending theme for the Epithet Erased Franchise, however it's seemingly unrelated to the main story.

The lyrics are written by Brendan Blaber with composition by HvnterBvss and vocal direction by Dawn M. Bennett. The song stars Bryn Apprill as the voice of Phoenica, Dani Chambers as the voice of Molly, Lindsay Sheppard as the voice of Stonk, Marissa Lenti as the voice of Stink, and Oz Ryan as the voice of Trixie (The Bubblegum Renegade). The accompanying music video is illustrated by Luveygold.

## Synopsis

## Lyrics

*[PRELUDE]*

*Did you guys want to hit up the playground after school?*

*Can’t go to that playground, kid. That’s Renegade territory.*

*You don’t mess with the Renegade!*

*“Renegade?”*

*You don’t know about the Bubblegum Renegade?*

*Heh. Then I guess we’ll just have to tell you.*

*[VERSE 1]*

*Card in the spokes and shoulder spikes*

*Tearin' up the town on a tricked-out trike*

*Safety wheels off: They’re a dang’rous breed*

*Don’t use a bandage when they scrape their knees*

*Stays after class, Tagging in chalk*

*Heard that on a double dare, they ate a rock*

*Getting in fights, Cutting in line*

*Bet they've been to juvie like a dozen times*

*[BRIDGE]*

*You don’t mess, Mess, Mess with the Renegade (Oh no)*

*If you do, Then, Look at the mess you’ve made (Whoa-whoa)*

*[CHORUS]*

*Nasty, no-good, naught but trouble*

*Bubblegum Renegade*

*You want stress, Well you’d get less*

*From divin’ on a live grenade*

*[INTERMISSION]*

*Careful darlin’. School just got out.*

*Walkin’ home from the malt shop at this time of day..*

*Never know who you might run into.*

*Don’t worry! I’ll head straight home! (But she didn’t.)*

*[VERSE 2]*

*Straight-A student in a poodle skirt*

*Playing on the playground when she got hurt*

*Tripped in the park and her lanky limbs*

*Got trapped in the jumble of the jungle gym*

*Who should appear, Pink leather vest*

*Lolly in the mouth like a cigarette*

*What could she do, No one to help*

*Baby teenybopper all by herself*

*[BRIDGE]*

*When a hand, Hand, Hand comes reachin’ out (Whoa yeah)*

*They will help, help, help help help you out (Whoa whoa)*

*[CHORUS]*

*Nasty, no-good, naught but trouble*

*Bubblegum Renegade*

*Say they’re sour, but turns out they’re*

*Sweeter than lemonade*

*[INTERMISSION]*

*The Renegade nodded, then turned to go.*

*I asked for a playdate… but they said “No.”*

*Gotta get home by six. Sorry. I wanna.*

*But mom gets worried. And I love my mama.*

*They revved up their spokes so they wouldn’t be late.*

*But I’ll never forget you… my Renegade.*

*[CHORUS]*

*Nasty, no-good, naught-but-trouble*

*Bubblegum Renegade*

*Helps you out when you’re in trouble*

*Bubblegum… Renegade*
