It's Tough to Be a God
I hardly think I'm qualified
To come across all sanctified
I just don't cut it with the cherubim
(Tulio, what are you talking about?) Oww!
There again they're on their knees
Being worshipped is a breeze
Which rather suits us in the interim
The interim, the interim
That's me and them
Oh my god
It's tough to be a god
Tread where mortals have not trod
Be deified when really you're a sham
Be an object of devotion
Be the subject of psalms
It's a rather touching notion
All those prayers and those salaams
And who am I to bridle
If I'm forced to be an idol?
If they say that I'm a god
That's what I am!
What's more if we don't comply
With the locals' wishes, I
I can see us being sacrificed or stuffed
You have a point
That's very good thinking
So let's be gods, the perks are great!
Yeah, El Dorado on our plate (thank you)
Local feeling should not be rebuffed
Never rebuffed
A-never rebuff a local feeling
No, my friend!
It's tough to be a god
But if you get the peoples' nod
Count your blessings
Keep 'em sweet
That's our advice
It's great advice
Be a symbol of perfection
Be a legend
Be a cult
Take their praise, take the collection
As the multitudes exalt
Don a supernatural habit
We'd be crazy not to grab it!
You got it!
So sign up two new gods for paradise
Paradise!
To come across all sanctified
I just don't cut it with the cherubim
(Tulio, what are you talking about?) Oww!
There again they're on their knees
Being worshipped is a breeze
Which rather suits us in the interim
The interim, the interim
That's me and them
Oh my god
It's tough to be a god
Tread where mortals have not trod
Be deified when really you're a sham
Be an object of devotion
Be the subject of psalms
It's a rather touching notion
All those prayers and those salaams
And who am I to bridle
If I'm forced to be an idol?
If they say that I'm a god
That's what I am!
What's more if we don't comply
With the locals' wishes, I
I can see us being sacrificed or stuffed
You have a point
That's very good thinking
So let's be gods, the perks are great!
Yeah, El Dorado on our plate (thank you)
Local feeling should not be rebuffed
Never rebuffed
A-never rebuff a local feeling
No, my friend!
It's tough to be a god
But if you get the peoples' nod
Count your blessings
Keep 'em sweet
That's our advice
It's great advice
Be a symbol of perfection
Be a legend
Be a cult
Take their praise, take the collection
As the multitudes exalt
Don a supernatural habit
We'd be crazy not to grab it!
You got it!
So sign up two new gods for paradise
Paradise!
