Luyện nghe bài hát Americana

America, the land of the free, the of the brave
That's what I thought before I toured
You see, I've got myself seduced by the sheer americana of it all
And I'd seen their images on
Of lee harvey oswald, f. kennedy's assassination
And I thought "america is a place"
And america is to trap you
Like you had giant tentacles that wrapped themselves you
Until you move and you were trapped
The land of the free, the home of the brave, guns and the west

Hey big fat cowboy, your big stetson
Hey big fat cowboy, flashing big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, singing & western
Hey big fat cowboy, is this the way the west was won? yeah

I myself in the back of a big ford thunderbird
With a slick-looking
He like a punk from a b-movie,
The of punk that would piss everybody off
Until lee marvin put a bullet through his
The punk over at me
"kinks? what of a motherfuckin' name is that? "
Then he reached over and up the car telephone
"hey kid, I've got elvis presley's number.
I've got ann-margret's number. I've fucked ann-margret!"
I knew mick avory would be with this, but I was not
And then the looked over at me
"i'll dial presley" he dialed a number
"hey, is that you elvis? I speak to the colonel.
to it, you mother!"
And then he looked at me in a menacing way,
Reached the glove-compartment and took out a revolver
He the six gun around, menacingly
"you see kid, when I deal with people, have to treat me right,
Otherwise they contend this! a gun!
Have you ever a gun before? "
I
Then he waved it around, put it back in the
"welcome to peoria, illinois, of middle america,
and apple pie, guns and the wild west"

All american wise guy, why that gleam in the sun
Hamburger and a milkshake, all dude
Popcorn and a t-bone, hot dog with a big
And a bad attitude, yeah yeah

Flying america on a twa, flying to california
To appear on television, performing our new record set me
The kinks were met by a union man with a contract to
And the kinks didn't like signing
"hey, are you the kinks? sign this piece of guys!
I want you to sign this so you can appear on television"
"no mate, we don't wanna sign a contract"
"you to sign, otherwise you cannot appear"
"we don't want to sign a of paper, alright!"
"listen kid, you the piece of paper.
You with your red hunting jackets and your yellow shirts.
Sign the of paper!"
"do you wanna sign it? " he looked over at
"watcha do kid? " "fuck off!"
Which is a fairly reasonable to say in the circumstances,
But not wise, you see, the man was a union executive
"alright. once I file my report on you
You're never work in america again.
You're gonna find out how powerful it is in america!"
The land of ice-cream and pie, guns and the wild west

american union rules with the fist, a smile and a gun
Great napalm lights up the sky like the sun
Great american eagle swoops from the sky up above

And I remember the images of lee oswald
on tv saying he was a patsy
A union man is the kinks
While I thought "this is the of opportunity"
But the cosa are everywhere
Land of and apple pie

Hey big fat cowboy, wearing big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, singing & western
Hey big fat cowboy, that big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, is the way that the west was won?
Yeah yeah

And 6 weeks later and grenville and larry
Were in their office in carnaby street
And the letter from the american government
It was from the american of musicians union
"a known as the kinks,
The english beat known as the kinks,
Are from america.
license to perform has been revoked indefinitely"
Yeah, all the same off
In the land of the ice-cream and apple pie, and the wild west
