Liner Notes

Every year during FAWM I write a love song for my husband. They're usually a little schmaltzy. Not this year. It feels surreal to be doing normal things like planning Valentine's dinner when the United States is on the precipice of ceasing to exist as we have known it. So this year I wrote a love song for the coming apocalypse.

Lyrics

Love in the Middle of a Dumpster Fire
©️2025 - words and music by Sharon Stepler

First thing every morning
I scroll through all the news
But staying well-informed gives me
A bad case of the blues
Every day is worse and worse
They're shredding all our rights
But I've got you and you've got me
And we've still got our nights

The whole damn world is falling apart
So baby love me right
This train is sliding off the track
Let's hold each other tight
Let's put aside our angst for now and give in to desire
We got
Love in the middle of a dumpster fire
Love in the middle of a dumpster fire

I remember Tricky Dick
I remember Watergate
I recall assassinations
And the fires of '68
But I swear that I have never seen
A crazy time like this
Yeah, we'll resist those bastards
But right now I need a kiss

CH

Bridge:
I don't know how long we can take it
I don't know if our country will make it
No time to hesitate
It soon may be too late

CH
