The Unsupervised Stop Sign

When no one looks, just do what's right 
Like an unsupervised stop sign 
Don't just do right when you're in sight 
For, honesty is so divine 

Put your soul on your own pedal 
Put your body on your own wheel 
Ride on to claim your own medal 
Brace your mind in covers of steel 

Ride with the flow of licit song 
Sway with the flare of red and green 
Blow your horn like a honking gong 
Watch what goes on on your front screen
