Luyện nghe bài hát Americana

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

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

I found myself in the of a big ford thunderbird
With a dude
He like a punk from a b-movie,
The of punk that would piss everybody off
Until lee marvin put a bullet his brain
The punk looked at me
"kinks? kind of a motherfuckin' name 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 phone number. I've ann-margret!"
I knew mick avory would be impressed this, but I was not
And then the punk looked 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 over at me in a menacing way,
into the glove-compartment and took out a revolver
He waved the six gun around,
"you see kid, when I with people, they have to treat me right,
Otherwise they contend this! a gun!
Have you ever seen a gun "
I
Then he waved it around, put it back in the
"welcome to peoria, illinois, of middle america,
Ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the west"

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

Flying across america on a twa, flying to
To appear on television, our new record set me free
The kinks were met by a union man a contract to sign
And the kinks didn't signing contracts
"hey, are you the kinks? this piece of paper guys!
I you to sign this 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 want to sign a of paper, alright!"
"listen kid, you sign the of paper.
You with your red hunting jackets and your yellow shirts.
Sign the of paper!"
"do you wanna sign it? " he looked at dave
"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. I file my report on you guys
You're never work in america again.
You're gonna find out just how it is in america!"
The of ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the wild west

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 from the sky up

And I remember the images of lee harvey
Appearing on tv he was a patsy
A union man is the kinks
While I "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, country & western
Hey big fat cowboy, that big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, is this the way that the west was
yeah yeah

And 6 weeks robert and grenville and larry
Were sitting in their in carnaby street
And the letter from the american government
It was from the american federation of musicians
"a band as the kinks,
The english group known as the kinks,
Are banned america.
Their license to has been revoked indefinitely"
Yeah, all the same off
In the land of the ice-cream and pie, guns and the wild west
