Name: Off The Radar
Duration: P00H05M07S
Description: I got the idea for the song "Off The Radar" when I was walking along the beach and saw a bunch of homeless guys sleeping and hanging out on a grassy area near the beach. I just thought 'these guys live day to day, nobody knows anything about them, they are basically off the radar'. - Frank

lyrics

Off The Radar

Whatcha doin’ layin ‘ in the grass
I knew you once, when you had class
How’d you get here down and out
Whatcha gonna do, where ya goin’ now

Sun is rising on the rolling waves
Neighbors huddled in their outdoor caves
Behind the scenes it’s a different world
No caviar, no diamonds or pearls

Off the radar and layin’ low
Packed some bags but nowhere to go
Used to be just an average guy
Sittin’ here watching life go by

You fought a war but a war fights you
Livin’ each day with nothin’ to do
If ya went back could ya change it all
The war goes on behind your wall

You’re everywhere, like the stars at night
You’re hot and cold, can’t see the light
The sign you hold begs for sympathy
While your mind gives up on your dignity

Off the radar and layin’ low
Packed some bags but nowhere to go
Used to be just an average guy
Sittin’ here watching life go by

You fought a war but a war fights you
Livin’ each day with nothin’ to do
Now you know you can’t change at all
The war goes on behind your wall
(repeat chorus)
