It's Tough To Be A God lyrics
Song information
Artist: Elton John Album: The Road To El Dorado Soundtrack
Lyrics
Music by elton john Lyrics by tim rice 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
