It's Tough to be a God

It's Tough to be a God is the song sung by Miguel and Tulio at the feast organised by Chief Tanni.

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 worshiped is a breeze which rather suits us in the interim.

Tulio': Interim, interim. It'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, yes, that's very good thinking. So let's be gods; the perks are great.

(Tulio: Yeah.)

El Dorado on a plate.

(Tulio: Thank you!)

Local feelings should not be rebuffed.

Tulio: Never rebuff, never rebuff a local feeling, no my friend.

Both: 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.

Miguel: It's great advice!

Both: Be a symbol of perfection.

Miguel: Be a legend!

Both: Be a cult! Take their praise, take a 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 on two new gods for paradise... par-a-dise!
