Luyện nghe bài hát Americana

America, the land of the free, the home of the
That's I thought before I toured there
You see, I've got myself being 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 america is keen to you
Like you had giant tentacles that wrapped themselves you
Until you couldn't move and you trapped
The land of the free, the home of the brave, guns and the wild

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

I myself in the back of a big ford thunderbird
With a dude
He like a punk from a b-movie,
The of punk that would piss everybody off
lee marvin put a bullet through his brain
The looked over at me
"kinks? what kind of a name is that? "
Then he reached over and picked up the car
"hey kid, I've got elvis phone number.
I've got ann-margret's phone number. I've ann-margret!"
I knew mick avory be impressed with this, but I was not
And then the punk over 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 looked 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 deal people, they have to treat me right,
Otherwise they with this! a gun!
Have you ever a gun before? "
I
Then he waved it around, put it in the glove-compartment
"welcome to peoria, illinois, home of 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

Flying across on a twa, flying to california
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 like signing
"hey, are you the kinks? sign piece of paper guys!
I want you to this union-document so you can appear on television"
"no thanks mate, we don't wanna a contract"
"you have to sign, you cannot appear"
"we don't want to sign a of paper, alright!"
"listen kid, you the piece of paper.
You with your red hunting jackets and your yellow shirts.
Sign the of paper!"
"do you wanna it? " he looked over at dave
"watcha gonna do " "fuck off!"
Which is a reasonable thing to say in the circumstances,
But not wise, you see, the man was a union executive
"alright. I file my report on you guys
never gonna work in america again.
You're gonna find out how powerful it is in america!"
The land of ice-cream and 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 from the sky up above

And I remember the images of lee oswald
on tv saying he was a patsy
A union man is the kinks
While I "this is the land of opportunity"
But the nostra 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 the west was won?
Yeah yeah

And 6 later robert and grenville and larry
Were sitting in office in carnaby street
And the came from the american government
It was the american federation of musicians union
"a known as the kinks,
The beat group known as the kinks,
Are from america.

Yeah, all the same off
In the of the ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the wild west
