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 occult
|
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
