Luyện nghe bài hát Americana

America, the land of the free, the home of the
That's what I thought before I toured
You see, I've got myself being seduced by the americana of it all
And I'd seen their on television
Of lee harvey oswald, john f. kennedy's
And I thought "america is a place"
And america is keen to you
Like you had giant tentacles that wrapped around you
Until you couldn't move and you were
The land of the free, the home of the brave, guns and the wild

Hey big fat cowboy, wearing big stetson
Hey big fat cowboy, flashing big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, singing & western
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 would piss everybody off
Until lee marvin put a bullet through his
The punk looked at me
"kinks? what kind of a motherfuckin' 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 phone number. fucked ann-margret!"
I knew mick avory would be impressed this, but I was not
And then the looked over at me
"i'll dial elvis presley" he dialed a
"hey, is you elvis? I wanna speak to the colonel.
to it, you mother!"
And then he looked at me in a menacing way,
Reached into the glove-compartment and out a revolver
He the six gun around, menacingly
"you see kid, when I deal with people, have to treat me right,
Otherwise contend with this! a gun!
Have you ever a gun before? "
I
he waved it around, put it back in the glove-compartment
"welcome to peoria, illinois, home of america,
Ice-cream and pie, guns and the wild 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 on television, performing our new record set me free
The kinks were met by a union man with a to sign
And the kinks didn't like contracts
"hey, are you the kinks? this piece of paper guys!
I want you to sign union-document so you can appear on television"
"no thanks mate, we wanna sign a contract"
"you have to sign, otherwise you appear"
"we don't to sign a piece of paper, alright!"
"listen kid, you the piece of paper.
You with your red hunting and your yellow frilly shirts.
Sign the of paper!"
"do you wanna sign it? " he looked over at
"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 executive
"alright. once I file my report on you
You're never work in america again.
You're find out just how powerful it is in america!"
The of ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the wild west

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

And I remember the images of lee oswald
on tv saying he was a patsy
A man is a-framin' the kinks
I thought "this is the land 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, moving big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, is the way that the west was won?
Yeah yeah

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