It's Tough to be a God lyrics

[TULIO]

I hardly think I'm qualified

To come across all sanctified

I just don't cut it with the cherubim

[MIGUEL]

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

[TULIO]

The interim, the interim, that's me and him

Oh my god!

[Both]

It's tough to be a god

[TULIO]

Tread where mortals have not trod

Be deified when really you're a sham

Be an object of devotion

Be the subject of psalms

[MIGUEL]

It's a rather touching notion

All those prayers and those salaams

[TULIO]

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

[MIGUEL]

You have a point, that's very good thinking

So let's be gods, the perks are great!

[TULIO]

Yeah!

[MIGUEL]

El Dorado on a plate

[TULIO]

Thank you

[MIGUEL]

Local feeling should not be rebuffed

[TULIO]

Never rebuffed

A-never rebuff a local feeling, no, my friend!

[ALL]

It's tough to be a god

But if you get the peoples' nod

Count your blessings

Yeah!

Keep 'em sweet

That's our advice

[TULIO]

It's great advice!

[Both]

Be a symbol of perfection

Be a legend, be a cult

Take their praise, take the collection

As the multitudes exalt

[MIGUEL]

Don a supernatural habit

[TULIO]

We'd be crazy not to grab it!

[MIGUEL]

You got it!

[Both]

So sign up two new gods for paradise

Paradise!
