“Big Money”
By Dan Sheridan
Well it happened in Aspen, and down in Sante Fe
It happens everywhere, when the locals move away
Because we can’t afford to live here, we can’t afford the rent
Unless we win the lottery, or live in a tent

Say goodbye to all the artists, and people who can ski
Say hello to private golf courses, and elective surgery

How did this happen, how did it occur?
Women driving hummers, men wearing fur!

CHORUS: Down in their graves you can hear the miners sing
Big money ruins everything
