Renegades Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Run away, away with me (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
Lost souls in revelry (Hey; La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
Runnin' wild and runnin' free (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
Two kids, you and me (Hey; La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)

[Chorus]
And I say hey, hey-hey-hey
Livin' like we're renegades
Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey
Livin' like we're renegades, renegades
Renegades

[Verse 2]
Long live the pioneers (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
Rebels and mutineers (Hey; La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
Go forth and have no fear (La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)
Come close and lend an ear (Hey; La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la)

[Chorus]
And I say hey, hey-hey-hey
Livin' like we're renegades
Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey
Livin' like we're renegades, renegades
Renegades

[Bridge]
So all hail the underdogs, all hail the new kids
All hail the outlaws (Hey), Spielbergs and Kubricks
It's our time to make a move, it's our time to make amends
It's our time to break the rules (Hey), let's begin

[Chorus]
And I say hey, hey-hey-hey
Livin' like we're renegades
Hey-hey-hey, hey-hey-hey
Livin' like we're renegades, renegades
Renegades

Genius Annotation

“Renegades” is the second single off X Ambassadors' debut album VHS.

The song was made explicitly for the purpose of a commercial tie-in with the 2015 Jeep Renegade. Olivier Francois, Chief Marketing Officer of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, approached Interscope Records requesting a song from an emerging band that would appeal to the millenial generation.

X Ambassadors and producer Alex da Kid were already working together on a similar concept, and returned a few days later with the song as we know it.
