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 being seduced by the sheer americana of it all
And I'd seen their images on
Of lee harvey oswald, john f. assassination
And I "america is a violent place"
And america is keen to you
Like you had giant tentacles that wrapped around you
Until you move and you were trapped
The of the free, the home of the brave, guns and the wild west

Hey big fat cowboy, wearing your big
Hey big fat cowboy, your big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, country & western
Hey big fat cowboy, is this the way the west was won? yeah

I found myself in the back of a big thunderbird
a slick-looking dude
He looked like a punk a b-movie,
The sort of punk would piss everybody off
Until lee marvin put a through his brain
The looked over at me
"kinks? what kind of a motherfuckin' is that? "
Then he reached over and picked up the car
"hey kid, I've got presley's phone number.
I've got ann-margret's number. I've fucked ann-margret!"
I knew mick would be impressed with this, but I was not
And the punk looked over at me
"i'll dial presley" he dialed a number
"hey, is that you elvis? I wanna to the colonel.
to it, you mother!"
And then he looked over at me in a way,
into 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 in the glove-compartment
"welcome to peoria, illinois, home of america,
and apple pie, guns and the wild west"

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

Flying across america on a twa, flying to
To appear on television, performing our new record set me
The were met by a union man with a contract to sign
And the didn't like signing contracts
"hey, are you the sign this piece of paper guys!
I want you to sign this so you can appear on television"
"no thanks mate, we don't wanna a contract"
"you have to sign, you cannot appear"
"we want to sign a piece of paper, alright!"
"listen kid, you the piece of paper.
You with your red hunting jackets and your frilly shirts.
Sign the of paper!"
"do you wanna sign it? " he looked at dave
"watcha gonna do " "fuck off!"
Which is a reasonable thing to say in the circumstances,
But not very wise, you see, the man was a union
"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 and apple pie, guns and the wild west

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

And I remember the images of lee harvey
Appearing on tv he was a patsy
A man is a-framin' the kinks
While I thought "this is the of opportunity"
But the cosa are everywhere
of ice-cream and apple pie

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

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