It’s Tough to Be a God
[Intro]
Ah-ooh
Ah-ooh

[Verse 1]
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?) Ow
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

[Chorus]
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 prayеrs and those salaams (Exactly)
And who am I to bridle
If I'm forced to bе an idol?
If they say that I'm a God
That's what I am
[Verse 2]
What's more if we don't comply
With the locals' wishes?
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, never rebuff a local feeling)
No, my friend

[Chorus]
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
