My name's Inspector Stongby I was born in July Nothing I do Turns out right No I need to be more prepared (Prepared) I need to be more prepared (Prepared) Even in the darkest times I try to make the world shine (No you don't) Even in the s- *distracted* I am known for two things in the force 1) I'm incompetent 2) My temper is an unstoppable force 3) And I haven't solved a crime 4) And I don't know how to count But I always try my best To be the best at what I do And I fail Always do Failure Mmmmmm... always do Ahaha that's me (I'm inspector Stongby) (I am born in July) (That pretty much sums it up) ["You need to practice, Stongby." -Whatever. "If you're gonna play the piano you need to practice, Stongby." -I have practiced, see? "This, this is not passable, Stongby. You'll never get a gig like this." -Shut up, I got this. "Okay, follow my lead, Stongby." -No, I got this. "Like this, Stongby" -Check this out! Oops... "Keep up! Keep up, God damn it, Stongby!" -No, I'm good. I got this. "Stongby, please." -Leave me alone, I got this. See?]

I'm not good at what I do I'm not good at what I do My name's Inspector Stongby And I work as an inspector I carry my name with pride And I was born in July I take things head on And I mean that I charge at everyone My skull is strong and determined And you will know that from my stång "Inspector Stongby, you have to stop stånging people in their gut. You're sending countless suspects to the hospital, it's becoming a huge problem. The only reason you don't get fired is cause your Dad was a legend in the force, so I'm doing him a favor by keeping you. Get a grip, Stongby!" Never solved a crime Never made anyone serve deserved time My frustration gets the better of me Then I charge like a bull Not a pretty sight to see ["Everything has its limit and you're skating on very thin ice, bucko. Your Dad's legacy can only helpyou so far. I have to consider the safety of the people and the reputation of the force."] I'm not good at what I do I'm not good at what I do I'm not good at what I do I'm not good at what I do Never solved a crime Never made anyone serve deserved time My frustration gets the better of me Then I charge like a bull Not a pretty sight to see [I'm not] good at what I do I'm not good at what I do I'm not good at what I do I'm not good at what I do [unintelligible]

My name's Inspector Stongby And I was born in July I thought I'd find my footing By now I've been thinking about my life Where I am and where I want to be Yeah I think I wanna quit I think I'm gonna leave the force I know I've been stånging people too much I think it's like everyday Multiple times I'm not good at what I do (Think it's time for me to leave the force) (To leave the force) I've been thinking about my life Where I am and where I want to be Yeah I think I wanna quit I think I'm gonna leave the force Yeah I think I have to leave I have to think about what's good for me And I think I've been ståning too much Yeah I have definitely been ståning too much Sorry Dad I hope you're not gonna be mad I know that you wanted me to be good at what I do You always wanted me to be Just like you Sorry Dad I hope you're not gonna be mad I think I would do better in the way that's better By doing it the way I want to do it Which is doing it in my way Sorry Dad I hope you're not gonna be mad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7RgN9ijwE4 Sorry Dad I hope you're not gonna be mad I actually have a gig booked (Piano) I'm gonna do so well I've practiced I'm killing it And the people go [boo] I wonder what fits me And my talents Which are piano and stånging Is there a job that includes both things I doubt it I doubt it Maybe I'll create a work like that Either way I have a great future Ahead of me Ahead of me I will go outside and stång some people Without it affecting my job How ironic isn't this I was taken by police Didn't know Didn't know You can't stång people Didn't know Didn't know You can't stång people Well I knew But I didn't think it was illegal I am behind bars right now Yeah I am in jail Captain of the force is probably glad to see me here My name's Inspector Stongby And I was born in July I thought I'd found my footing By now I've been thinking about my life And I think I kinda fit in jail For the crimes I did commit I have a reason to be here My name's Inspector Stongby And I was born in July And I think I found my footing I've been thinking about my life And I think I kinda fit in jail For the crimes I did commit I have a reason to be here I'm Inspector Stongby I was born in July I'm in jail right now And I'm starting to think that I Kinda don't like it here I had the wrong idea My priorities seem to be misplaced And some people here are pretty scary I'm Inspector Stongby I was born in July I'm in jail right now And I'm starting to think that I Kinda wanna leave I could try to escape I could hide somewhere Maybe living underground (Maybe living underground) No one would find me And I bet they have things I could stång Down underground Where it wouldn't be illegal THERE ARE NO LAWS UNDERGROUND I'll be underground Come and get to know me You can come visit I'll be underneath you (I'm the smartest frog you'll meet) (I'll head downtown underground) [The sewer frog's theme plays as the screen pans to a face aged by regret, but with a youthful optimism about the future. The frog knows right from wrong after having left a life of violence. Days and nights pass underground, the highs and lows of life oscillate. A tragic future awaits, but for now things are neutral. The frog has the heart of a bull and was born in July]

about

I wasn't gonna release this but I feel bad about having it lying around after putting so much work into it. I won't be sticking to the yearly releases as strictly as before, if I make more music for this project. If this were a Rain World area it would be Drainage System for several reasons, most poetic, some literal. [This release was made public on February 25th 2023]

When I say stång, picture what a bull does.
