It's Tough To Be A God ("The Road to El Dorado" OST)
[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)
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)
(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 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
[Verse 2]
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 (Thank you) Local feelings should not be rebuffed (Never rebuff never rebuff the local feeling)
(No my friend)
[Chorus]
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 (You got it) So sign up two new Gods For paradise Paradise
