Текст с Bandcamp’a: “Comedy and satire are good weapons against false mythology. I have added two verses to Will Anderson’s song, which mocks the popular myths that hide the truth behind romantic fiction. (I know nothing of John Wayne’s personal habits - this is satire.) lyrics American Mythology We all want to be cowboys, sing cowboy songs, Want to walk six feet tall and have long horns on the wall Sing of the Alamo and the battle of Little Big Horn But Hollywood and Cinemascope, well I think they got it wrong Chorus: John Wayne was a wanker, Audie Murphy told lies, Wild Bill was over the hill, and Annie Oakley cried. The Indians died on the reservations and not on the battlefield, Its American mythology, and my dad thinks it real. Butch and Sundance never sang about raindrops in their heads Doc Holliday died coughing in his bed High Noon was just a time when they all used to get up Drag their sorry asses back to that whiskey cup The American Dream won’t make you rich, just ‘coz you work so hard, And the US Ain’t the land of the free - if you ain’t got a credit card. The American army won the Second World War, and the war in Vietnam And we are all created equal, unless you are a young black man. Mexicans are all bandits, and the bad guys all wear black, All the whores have hearts of gold, and the hero never looks back Partner please don’t tell me how the west was won. I ain’t smelt that much bullshit since them buffalo bin gone. We all want to be cowboys, sing cowboy songs, Want to walk six feet tall and have longhorns on the wall Sing of the Alamo and the Battle of Little Big Horn Hollywood and Cinemascope I think they got it wrong from Heavy Duty - Ballads of the Unfree, released February 1, 2018 Will Anderson /Bill Lloyd“
