Generate meaning
1
I hardly think I'm qualified
2
To come across all sanctified
3
I just don't cut it with the cherubim
4
The town's already on it's knees
5
Being worshiped is a breeze
6
I barely know the words to any hymn
7
Listen if we don't comply
8
With the locals' wishes
9
I can see is being sacrificed or stuffed
10
Let's be gods, the perks are great
11
El Dorado on a plate
12
Local feelings should not be rebuffed
13
It's great to be a god
14
Tread where mortals have not trod
15
Be defied when really you're a sham
16
Be an object of devotion
17
Be the subject of psalms
18
It's a terrifying notion
19
All those prayers and those salaams
20
Any normal man would bridle if he's forced to be an idol
21
And a normal man's exactly what I am
22
All the same it's pretty clear
23
The scoundrels don't keep much up here
24
They must have zillions under lock and key
25
But gods can force then to unleash
26
Enough to make us nouveau riche
27
Beyond our wildest dreams so follow me
28
Can't you see I won't relax
29
If religious maniacs
30
Tell me I'm all-powerful and sublime
31
How can I be their belief
32
When I'm lying through my teeth
33
Why don't we just say some other time
34
It's tough to be a god
35
But if you get the people's nod
36
Count your blessings, keep them sweet is my advice
37
Be nirvana, be salvation
38
Be all things to all men
39
Butter up your congregation
40
Every Sunday score a ten
41
The alternative is dire
42
Simply frying pan to fire
43
So sign on two new gods for paradise
