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 myself being seduced by the sheer of it all
And I'd seen images on television
Of lee harvey oswald, f. kennedy's assassination
And I "america is a violent place"
And america is to trap you
Like you had tentacles that wrapped themselves around you
Until you couldn't move and you were
The of the free, the home of the brave, guns and the wild 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 was won? yeah

I found myself in the back of a big thunderbird
With a slick-looking
He looked like a punk a b-movie,
The sort of punk that piss everybody off
Until lee marvin put a bullet his brain
The punk looked at me
"kinks? kind of a motherfuckin' name is that? "
he reached over and picked up the car telephone
"hey kid, got elvis presley's phone number.
I've got ann-margret's number. I've fucked ann-margret!"
I knew mick avory would be impressed this, but I was not
And then the punk looked 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 he looked over at me in a menacing way,
Reached into the and took out a revolver
He waved the six gun around,
"you see kid, when I deal with people, they have to me right,
they contend with this! a gun!
Have you seen a gun before? "
I
he waved it around, put it back in the glove-compartment
"welcome to peoria, illinois, of middle america,
Ice-cream and pie, guns and the wild west"

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

across america on a twa, flying to california
To appear on television, our new record set me free
The kinks were met by a union man with a contract to
And the kinks didn't like signing
"hey, are you the sign this 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 have to sign, otherwise you 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 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. once I file my report on you
never gonna 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 west

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

And I remember the of lee harvey oswald
Appearing on tv he was a patsy
A union man is a-framin' the
While I thought "this is the of opportunity"
But the nostra 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, 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 office in carnaby street
And the letter came the american government
It was from the american of musicians union
"a band as the kinks,
The beat group known as the kinks,
Are banned america.
license to perform has been revoked indefinitely"
Yeah, all the same off
In the land of the ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the wild
