It's Tough To Be A God |
From the soundtrack «The Road To El Dorado» |
I hardly think I’m qualified |
To come across all sanctified |
I just don’t cut it with the cherubim |
There again they’re on their knees |
Being worshipped is a breeze |
Which rather suits us in the interim |
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 |
So let’s be Gods, the perks are great |
El Dorado on a plate |
Local feelings should not be rebuffed |
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 So sign up two new Gods for paradise |
Paradise |
