Americana
America, the
land of the
free, the
home of the
brave That's what I
thought before I
toured there You see, I've got myself being seduced by the
sheer Americana of it all And I'd seen their images on television Of Lee Harvey Oswald, John F. Kennedy's assassination And I
thought "America is a
violent place" And America is keen to trap you Like you had giant tentacles that wrapped themselves around you Until you couldn't move and you were trapped The
land of the
free, the
home of the
brave, guns and the
Wild West Hey big fat cowboy, wearing your big Stetson Hey big fat cowboy, flashing your big six gun Hey big fat cowboy, singing country & western Hey big fat cowboy, is this the
way that the
West was won? Yeah I
found myself in the
back of a
big Ford Thunderbird With a
slick-looking dude He looked like a
punk from a
B-movie, The
sort of punk that would piss everybody off Until Lee Marvin put a
bullet through his brain The
punk looked over at me "Kinks? What kind of a
motherfucking name is that?" Then he reached over and picked up the
car telephone "Hey kid, I've got Elvis Presley's phone number. I've got Ann-Margret's phone number. I've fucked Ann-Margret!" I
knew Mick Avory would be impressed with this, but I
was not And then the
punk looked over at me "I'll dial Elvis Presley" He dialed a
number "Hey, is that you Elvis? I
wanna speak to the
Colonel. Jump to it, you mother!" And then he looked over at me in a
menacing way, Reached into the
glove-compartment and took out a
revolver He waved the
six gun around, menacingly "You see kid, when I
deal with people, they have to treat me right, Otherwise they contend with this! A
gun! Have you ever seen a
gun before?" I
hadn't Then he waved it around, put it back in the
glove-compartment "Welcome to Peoria, Illinois, home of Middle America, Ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the
Wild West" All American wise guy, why achieve that gleam in the
sun Hamburger and a
milkshake, all American dude Popcorn and a
t-bone, hot dog with a
big smile And a
bad attitude, yeah yeah yeah Flying across America on a
TWA, flying to California To appear on television, performing our new record Set me free The
Kinks were met by a
union man with a
contract to sign And The
Kinks didn't like signing contracts "Hey, are you The
Kinks? Sign this piece of paper guys! I
want you to sign this union-document so you can appear on television" "No thanks mate, we don't wanna sign a
contract" "You have to sign, otherwise you cannot appear" "We don't want to sign a
piece of paper, alright!" "Listen kid, you sign the
piece of paper. You with your red hunting jackets and your yellow frilly shirts. Sign the
piece of paper!" "Do you wanna sign it?" He looked over at Dave "Watcha gonna do kid?" "Fuck off!" Which is a
fairly reasonable thing to say in the
circumstances, But not very wise, you see, the
man was a
union executive "Alright. Once I
file my report on you guys You're never gonna work in America again. You're gonna find out just how powerful it is in America!" The
land of ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the
Wild West Great American union rules with the
fist, a
smile and a
gun Great American napalm lights up the
sky like the
sun Great American eagle swoops down from the
sky up above And I
remember the
images of Lee Harvey Oswald Appearing on TV saying he was a
patsy A
union man is a-framing The
Kinks While I
thought "This is the
land of opportunity" But the
Cosa Nostra are everywhere Land of ice-cream and apple pie Hey big fat cowboy, wearing that big six gun Hey big fat cowboy, singing country & western Hey big fat cowboy, moving that big six gun Hey big fat cowboy, is this the
way that the
West was won? Yeah yeah yeah And 6
weeks later Robert and Grenville and Larry Were sitting in their office in Carnaby Street And the
letter came from the
American government It was from the
American Federation of Musicians Union "A band known as The
Kinks, The
English beat group known as The
Kinks, Are banned from America. Their license to perform has been revoked indefinitely" Yeah, all the
same fuck off In the
land of the
ice-cream and apple pie, guns and the
Wild West
