It's Tough To Be A God lyrics
Buy unreleased and rare Elton John CDs & Vinyl records (over 189 titles available!)
To come across all sanctified I just don't cut it with the cherubim The town's already on its knees Being worshipped is a breeze I barely know the words to any hymn Listen, if we don't comply To the locals' wishes I Can see us being sacrificed or stuffed Let's be gods, the perks are great El Dorado on a plate Local feeling should not be rebuffed 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 terrifying notion All those prayers and those salaams Any normal man would bridle If he's forced to be an idol And a normal man's exactly what I am All the same, it's pretty clear The scoundrels don't keep much up here They must have zillions under lock and key But gods can force them to unleash Enough to make us nouveau riche Beyond our wildest dreams, so follow me! Can't you see I won't relax If religious maniacs Tell me I'm all-powerful and sublime How can I be their belief When I'm lying through my teeth? Why don't we just say, "some other time"? It's tough to be a god But if you get the people's nod Count your blessings, keep them sweet is my advice Be nirvana, be salvation Be all things to all men Butter up your congregation Every Sunday score a ten The alternative is dire Simply frying pan to fire So sign on two new gods for paradise  More Elton John Song Lyrics
