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 |
