Lyrics

♪ WAKE UP! ♪

♪ You've got a lot to do today ♪

♪ Feel proud and wipe your eyes, 'cause hey ♪

♪ Stifle the yawn, You stayed up 'til dawn ♪

♪ Let's see what you been workin' on ♪

♪ IT'S GONE ♪

♪ Keep in mind the DEADLINE is closing in ♪

♪ Your byline, the headline, They're in the bin ♪

♪ Uncompleted, all deleted ♪

♪ WHAT'S GOING ON!? ♪

♪ You'll have to crunch and work til' dawn til' you die! ♪

♪ Cut out the corners, cross the Ts and dot the Is ♪

♪ Whip out the white-out but keep it in good taste ♪

♪ Just so that no one will ♪

♪ Ever know it's defaced ♪

♪ Ooooh... ♪

♪ Epithet Erased ♪

♪ WAKE UP! ♪

♪ You've got a lot to do today ♪

♪ Feel proud and wipe your eyes, 'cause hey- ♪

♪ Stifle the yawn, stayed up 'till dawn ♪

♪ Let's see what you've been workin' on... ♪

♪ IT'S GONE!!! ♪

♪ Keep in mind, the DEADLINE is closing in... ♪

♪ You're byline, the headline, they're in the bin ♪

♪ Uncompleted ♪

♪ All deleted ♪

♪ WHAT'S GOING ON?! ♪

♪ You'll have to work and crunch 'til dawn 'til you die! ♪

♪ Cut out the corners, cross the t's and dot the i's ♪

♪ Whip out the white-out but keep it in good taste ♪

♪ Just so that no one will ♪

♪ Ever know it's defaced... ♪

♪ (Ooh) (Ooh) ♪

♪ Epithet Erased ♪

(Instrumental)

♪ ALL RIGHT! ♪

♪ Group project work may bury you ♪

♪ Maybe your team can carry you? ♪

♪ Sent 'em a text, you're feelin' vexed ♪

♪ Ask your partners what you should do next ♪

♪ AW HECK! ♪

♪ The group chat, unread, well that's no good ♪

♪ They tell you: ♪

♪ Well, we thought 'you' would! ♪

♪ At a party ♪

♪ Never started... ♪

♪ WHAT'S GOING ON?! ♪

♪ You always work and crunch 'til dawn til you die! ♪

♪ And then these lazy louses leave you out to dry!? ♪

♪ To them, expendable, you're just a good grade ♪

♪ They took exhaustion and, they replaced it with RAGE ♪

♪ Go to your happy place... ♪

♪ New project now, it's your revenge... ♪

♪ Obsessed with thoughts of offing them- ♪

♪ -But no. ♪

♪ Why settle for sealing those snakes in a hearse... ♪

♪ When you could do something that's so much ♪

♪ Worse? ♪

♪ Slap their wrists and ♪

♪ Break the system ♪

♪ Let's get it done! ♪

♪ Email the supervisor, get 'em expelled ♪

♪ They act like devils, well it's time to give 'em hell! ♪

♪ Leak the receipts and then you tank GPAs ♪

♪ If you go out then you'll go in a glorious blaze ♪

♪ Epithet Erased ♪

Trivia

This opening theme according to Brendan Blaber was completed in a crunch within only a few weeks.
- Basically, this song emphasizes on the stress the staff has when working on the show.^[10]
Many people called the Extended version the "Molly Villain Song" and Brendan Blaber acknowledged that it did kind of become that.^[9]
The EpithetErasedOnline.com promotional art seems to have originally been an alternate thumbnail for the YouTube upload since the original file name is " Thumbnail-Deadnail-2.png".^[11]
