Luyện nghe bài hát Americana

America, the land of the free, the home of the
That's I thought before I toured there
You see, I've got myself being by the sheer americana of it all
And I'd seen their on television
Of lee oswald, john f. kennedy's assassination
And I "america is a violent place"
And america is to trap you
Like you had giant that wrapped themselves around you
you couldn't move and you were trapped
The land of the free, the 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, singing country &
Hey big fat cowboy, is this the way that the west was yeah

I myself in the back of a big ford thunderbird
a slick-looking dude
He like a punk from a b-movie,
The sort of punk that would piss off
Until lee put a bullet through his brain
The punk over at me
"kinks? kind of a motherfuckin' name is that? "
Then he reached over and picked up the car
"hey kid, I've got elvis phone number.
I've got ann-margret's phone number. fucked ann-margret!"
I mick avory would be impressed with this, but I was not
And the punk looked over at me
"i'll elvis 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 into the glove-compartment and took out a
He the six gun around, menacingly
"you see kid, when I deal with people, they have to me right,
Otherwise contend with this! a gun!
Have you ever seen a gun "
I
he waved it around, put it back in the glove-compartment
"welcome to peoria, illinois, home of america,
Ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the west"

All american wise guy, why achieve that 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 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 didn't like signing contracts
"hey, are you the kinks? sign piece of paper guys!
I want you to sign union-document so you can appear on television"
"no thanks mate, we don't wanna 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 and your yellow frilly shirts.
the piece of paper!"
"do you sign it? " he looked over at dave
"watcha do kid? " "fuck off!"
Which is a fairly thing to say in the circumstances,
But not very wise, you see, the man was a union
"alright. I file my report on you guys
You're never work in america again.
You're find out just how powerful it is in america!"
The land of ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the wild

american union rules with the fist, a smile and a gun
Great american napalm lights up the sky 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 union man is a-framin' the
I thought "this is the land of opportunity"
But the nostra are everywhere
Land of and apple pie

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

The english beat group as the kinks,
Are banned america.

Yeah, all the same off
In the land of the ice-cream and apple pie, and the wild west
