Luyện nghe bài hát Americana

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

Hey big fat cowboy, wearing big stetson
Hey big fat cowboy, your big six gun
Hey big fat cowboy, singing country &
Hey big fat cowboy, is this the way that the west was won?

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 punk that would piss off
lee marvin put a bullet through his brain
The punk looked at me
"kinks? what kind of a motherfuckin' is that? "
Then he reached and picked up the car telephone
"hey kid, I've got elvis presley's number.
got ann-margret's phone number. I've fucked ann-margret!"
I knew mick avory would be with this, but I was not
And the punk looked over at me
"i'll dial presley" he dialed 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 took out a
He waved the six gun around,
"you see kid, when I with people, they have to treat me right,
they contend with this! a gun!
Have you ever seen a gun "
I
he waved it around, put it back in the glove-compartment
"welcome to peoria, illinois, of middle america,
Ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the west"

All american wise guy, why that gleam 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 america on a twa, flying to california
To appear on television, performing our new set me free
The kinks met by a union man with a contract to sign
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 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 jackets and your yellow frilly shirts.
Sign the of paper!"
"do you wanna sign it? " he looked over at
"watcha do kid? " "fuck off!"
is a fairly reasonable thing to say in the circumstances,
But not wise, you see, the man was a union executive
"alright. once I my report on you guys
You're gonna work in america again.
You're gonna find out just how it is in america!"
The land of ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the wild

Great american union 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 saying he was a
A union man is the kinks
While I thought "this is the of opportunity"
But the cosa are everywhere
Land of 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 the way that the west was won?
yeah yeah

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