Ten Second News
by Son Volt
Transcribed by John Erlinger (tardis@tetranet.net)

Music and words by Jay Farrar (Warner-Tamerlane Pub./Grain Elevator Songs)
>From the Warner Bros. album "Trace" (9 46010-2)



The lyrics to this song may make better sense to someone who lives in the
Midwest or Missouri. The "beach there known for cancer" on Highway 70
is the infamous Times Beach, which was deserted due to dioxin poisoning.
And of course the "cough in the water" is the Great Flood of 1993.
Farrar uses the metaphor of natural disasters to paint a picture
of Midwestern life. . .
