lyrics

Gonna build me a weapon, a thing you've never ever seen
It's a glorious bingbangblorious machine
Gonna invent me a weapon, take you by surprise
Make you wonder how you used to live your life

Gonna make you a weapon, that obeys your every word
You can be a sharp shooter without, even drawing from your holster
Gonna invent me a weapon, everyone will need to buy
And if you don't you'll be hung out to dry

Build me a weapon! Wield me a weapon!
Buy me a weapon! Or did it buy me?

Gonna channel all the know-how, to keep a watchful eye on the land
Can't really say why, it's just that we can
Gonna gather all the info, thanks to the latest technology
We can all safely drift back off to sleep

Gonna wield me a weapon, protect me and my loved ones
It's my god given right to blast you to kingdom come
Gonna wield me a weapon, you've got yours but i've got mine
And i don't care if mine don't save me time

Build me a weapon! Buy me a weapon!
Wield me a weapon! Or does it wield me?

about

Cory Seznec Paris, France

Somewhere between musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist dwells the artist Cory Seznec and his unique world.
A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated, and idiosyncratic. He also sings, plays old-time banjo, and wades in the deep river of American song.
