Words & Music by Cory Seznec

lyrics

Cage them chickens hide your roosters away
Shave your stubble and get your best suit on that's the price you pay
For a nice time with your little lady on that holiday
Raise up them socks, tighten up them shoes
Quit drinking corn liquor, even if you ain't got nothing to lose
The drinking hole won't make you whole, so clean yourself up, time is ticking away
Feed the monkey but chase the baboon away
Train yourself and get a brand new job that's the price you pay
To keep together your little family, keep your troubles at bay
Hoist up them flags, pay up them dues
Stay on the straight and narrow, even if there's only a crooked route
Blow off steam with esteem for the world's no longer just about you

God's gonna change your situation barbershop
God’s gonna change your situation like it or not
God will give your situation a haircut
At the God’s gonna change your situation barbershop

Unchain those dogs, let the doves fly away
Sign off, hit the road, lose yourself that's the price you pay
When you're looking for something deeper, and it don't work to pray
Farewell to your friends, adios to your kin
Break apart your world and put it all back together again
Smash it all to pieces like five easy pieces, but come out the other side alive and kicking

God's gonna change your situation barbershop
God’s gonna change your situation like it or not
God will give your situation a haircut
At the God’s gonna change your situation barbershop

Welcome to God Will Change Your Situation Barbershop, where you will get the haircut of your dreams!
Or the haircut that you could never have believed!
Where unanticipated nightmares shave your hallowed locks, and dense paradises of curled pompadour forests become scorched deserted landscapes of beatific balding.
And metaphysical manes kowtow at the site of the holy shears.
Jubilation! Exultation! Condemnation! Desecration! Regeneration!
Spiritualized scissors and religious razors rejoicing in the random and accepting the inevitable! Come on down folks!
Amen, amen

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.
