Luyện nghe bài hát Americana

America, the land of the free, the of the brave
That's what I before I toured there
You see, got myself being seduced by the sheer americana of it all
And I'd seen images on television
Of lee harvey oswald, john f. kennedy's
And I "america is a violent place"
And is keen to trap you
you had giant tentacles that wrapped themselves around 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, country & western
Hey big fat cowboy, is this the way that the west was yeah

I found in the back of a big ford thunderbird
a slick-looking dude
He looked like a from a b-movie,
The sort of punk would piss everybody off
Until lee put a bullet through his brain
The punk over at me
"kinks? what kind of a name is that? "
Then he over and picked up the car telephone
"hey kid, got elvis presley's phone 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 elvis 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,
Reached into the glove-compartment and took out a
He waved the six gun around,
"you see kid, when I deal with people, have to treat me right,
Otherwise they contend this! a gun!
you ever seen 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 american guy, why achieve that gleam in the sun
and a milkshake, all american 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, our new record set me free
The were met by a union man with a contract to sign
And the kinks like signing contracts
"hey, are you the kinks? sign piece of paper guys!
I want you to sign this union-document so you can on television"
"no thanks mate, we wanna sign a contract"
"you to sign, otherwise you cannot appear"
"we want to sign a piece of paper, alright!"
"listen kid, you sign the of paper.
You with red hunting jackets 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 reasonable thing 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.
gonna find out just how powerful it is in america!"
The land of ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the wild

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

And I remember the of lee harvey oswald
Appearing on tv saying he was a
A union man is the kinks
While I "this is the land of opportunity"
But the cosa are everywhere
of ice-cream and apple pie

Hey big fat cowboy, that big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, singing country &
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 later robert and and larry
sitting in their office in carnaby street
And the letter came the american government
It was from the american federation of union
"a band as the kinks,
The english beat known as the kinks,
Are from 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
