Name: Life Size Unicorn by The Repressions
Duration: 6 min 34 s
Description: The official track recorded and mastered at The Colorful Castle in 2021

This is a song that is "fill in with your own lyrics" and is designed for children and to be easy to pick up and sing.  It's a endearing song about being together I wrote for my son when he was little.
Example:

If I could fly into the sky
I'd fly with you, and we would be together.
If I could dream, 1000s dreams, I'd dream with you
and we would be together
We're together now....woah oh, together now

Kids participate this way:
If I could ____ into the _____
I'd ___ with you and we would be together.
etc

Together Now

WE ARE THE STRANGE ONES

We are the strange ones
The people you heard about
You'd rather not acknowledge us
Time for a turnabout
We are the strange ones
The weird weirdos who do things you think only a few weird weirdos do
Those people who must live very far away
The ones who make you roll your eyes all day
That think and act and look that way
You think we're just a few
But there's a slew
We're here to recruit

Tell your children time to change
We'll add them to our flock of strange

When you see the sides of issues and life
Hexagons and circles squaring off
The gears in your weird crank open I'm hopin'
See it from above 
The mass acceptance is the crazed
People lounging in a maze
In a blanket haze
It lasts for days
Soaking up the rays
Of being a happy cog
Who buys products that shine
And thinks celebrity's fine
And gets their body all sick on the processed slime
And thinks it's funny to say 
Bacon LOL
This is a hell

We are the strange ones

So come on kids paint the strange one's Spackle
Shake off your shackle 
Don't give your demographic to cruel and needy greed
Don't let them feed 
Steer them to their knees
Until we rearrange let's force the change 
Make their savage selfishness seem so strange

We are the strange ones
Here to repossess the mess
Think of the animals
Think of the planet full
Think of your brothers
Think of some others
Or we'll smother you with our strangeness

Strange is not a splashin' jacket
It's not a hundred tattoos
It's how you give and how you amend
And all the places you refuse to spend
And all the madness you refuse to accept
It's not well kept
But it's not inept

We are the strange ones
Trying hard to be full of love
Trying not to buy things made by slaves
Trying not to sell things that scratch our souls
Trying hard to breathe while we accept we're not in control

It's a strange way to live
Strange trying to give
Giving facts, reason, kindness, love
Giving gifts without the wrapping
But they're still napping

We are the strange ones

You think we're strange to care
That's the saddest tear
But we'll still care 
From way out there 
We're more than a prayer 
We'll always care

We are the strange ones
We are the strange ones
We are the strange ones
You think we're just a few
But there's a slew
We're here to recruit

We Are The Strange Ones

When the world around you is going to pretty pieces, remember you are not alone

Let's Get Depressed

This is a protest song about the horrendous nature of the horse racing fraternity and how it is far beyond time that it was banned. It commemorates the day on which Animal Rising sort to bring The Grand National to a close and start a conversation about our broken relationship with other animals.

The Last Grand National

A song inspired by Greta Thunberg about a girl who is trying to convince her family to go vegan because they are eating up the world.

LYRICS:

Am I just an animal
I'd like to face the animals
But I can't face the animals
If I still hurt the animals
Let's face the animals

'Cause I'm an animal
Just an animal
Just an animal
Just an animal

It's not in the plan at all
Wild order to the planet full
Plants are planned for all of us
I'll rant until I turn to dust
The world gave everything a place
If you're not in a gracious base
The time you have is full of waste
Don't carry that disgrace
Face your space

'Cause you're an animal
'Cause I'm an animal
Just an animal just an animal
Just an animal just an animal
Just an animal just an animal

These baby beings are like you
'Cause you were once a baby too
You didn't have your cheery voice
Your arms weren't strong to make a choice
Fish and fowl and pig and cow
They're crying in the here and now
And every dollar that you spend
That's their beginning or their end
The suffering creates dark wealth
That's so destructive to our health
I am casting off the spell
Because I have to face myself
This is hard sense in a soft shell
It's love and logic can't you tell
For you and them I have to yell
Why can't we help out all the hell

'Cause you're an animal
'Cause I'm an animal
Just an animal just an animal
Just an animal just an animal
Just an animal just an animal

Don't let it wear on you
Don't let it feed your truth
Don't use it and you won't be used
I will not vote for this abuse

Don't wear the animals
Don't eat the animals
Don't use the animals

It doesn't matter if your mother
Or your brother or some others
Say that you should do this too
Because that's just what we all do
When you recognize a wrong
You shouldn't keep singing the song
Bet you knew it all along
The throng is not where you belong

You're just an animal
I'm just an animal
Let's face the animals
Let's save the animals
Let's save the animals

Just An Animal

When my skin peels 
You see the monster in my face
When's there's water on the paper
And the art can't be replaced
The damage gets into my nerves
It digs into my mind
It makes me feel remarkable 
It makes me feel unkind
you said I was the answer
I said you were profound
Now were throwing gas into the fire 
in a world thats upside down

Oh oh oh we're building machines again
Oh oh oh scribbled lines on the paper
Oh oh oh there's no getting out of here
Oh oh oh this is a dead end

There's fire in my heart valves 
Spider webs inside my eyes
A startling metamorphosis 
Is it truth or is it lies?
I think that we're bad poetry 
With grammar compromised

Oh oh oh we're building machines again
Oh oh oh scribbled lines on the paper
Oh oh oh there's no getting out of here
Oh oh oh this is a dead end

Oh oh oh we're building machines again
Oh oh oh scribbled lines on the paper
Oh oh oh there's no getting out of here
Oh oh oh this is a dead end
Oh oh oh we're building machines again
Oh oh oh this is a dead end
