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

There again they're on their knees

Being worshipped is a breeze

Which rather suits us in the interim

Interim, interim, it's me and him

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 can see us being sacrificed or stuffed

Yes, you have a really good point there

So let's be Gods, the perks are great

Yeah

El Dorado on a plate

Local feelings should not be rebuffed

Never rebuff, never rebuff the local feeling, no my friend

It's tough to be a God

But if you get the people's nod

Count your blessings, keep them sweet, that's our advice

Be a symbol of perfection

Be a legend, be a cult

Take their praise, take a 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
