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!
