Luyện nghe bài hát Americana

America, the land of the free, the of the brave
That's what I thought before I there
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 giant tentacles that wrapped around you
you couldn't move and you were trapped
The land of the free, the home of the brave, and the wild west

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

I found myself in the of a big ford thunderbird
a slick-looking dude
He looked like a punk a b-movie,
The sort of that 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 reached over and picked up the car
"hey kid, got elvis presley's phone number.
I've got ann-margret's phone number. fucked ann-margret!"
I knew mick would be impressed with this, but I was not
And then the looked over at me
"i'll dial elvis presley" he 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 out a revolver
He the six gun around, menacingly
"you see kid, when I deal people, they have to treat me right,
they contend with this! a gun!
Have you seen a gun before? "
I
Then he waved it around, put it in the glove-compartment
"welcome to peoria, illinois, of middle america,
Ice-cream and apple pie, and the wild west"

All american wise guy, why that gleam in the sun
Hamburger and a milkshake, all dude
Popcorn and a t-bone, hot dog a big smile
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 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 sign a contract"
"you to sign, otherwise you cannot appear"
"we don't want to a piece of paper, alright!"
"listen kid, you the piece of paper.
You with your red hunting jackets and yellow frilly shirts.
the piece of paper!"
"do you wanna sign it? " he looked at dave
"watcha gonna do " "fuck off!"
is a fairly reasonable thing to say in the circumstances,
But not very wise, you see, the man was a executive
"alright. I file my report on you guys
You're gonna work in america again.
You're gonna find out how powerful it is in america!"
The land of and apple pie, guns and the wild west

american union rules with the fist, a smile and a gun
Great american lights up the sky like the sun
Great american eagle swoops down 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 "this is the land of opportunity"
But the cosa are everywhere
of ice-cream and apple pie

Hey big fat cowboy, wearing big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, country & western
Hey big fat cowboy, moving big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, is this the way that the west was
Yeah yeah

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