Lyrics
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 worshiped is a breeze
Which rather suits us in the interim
Interim, interim. It's me and him
Oh, my God!
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
(You have a point there, very good thinking.)
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 a local feeling
No, my friend!
It's tough to be a god
But if you get the people's 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 a collection
As the multitudes exalt
Don a supernatural habit
We'd be crazy not to grab it!
(You got it!)
So, sign on two new gods for paradise
Par-a-dise!
Writer(s): Elton John, Tim Rice
