I'm New Here

No, no, no, no
 
I did not become someone different
That I did not want to be
 
But I’m new here  
Will you show me around? 
No matter how far wrong you've gone  
You can always turn around
 
Met a woman in a bar 
I told her I was hard to get to know 
And near bout impossible to forget  
She said I had an ego on me, the size of Texas
 
Well, I’m new here and I forget 
Does that mean big or small?  
No matter how far wrong you've gone 
You can always turn around
 
And I’m shedding plates like a snake 
And it may be crazy 
But I’m the closest thing I have  
To a voice of reason
 
Turn around, turn around, turn around  
And you may come full circle 
And be new here again

--Gil Scott-Heron 'I'm New Here'
