I hardly think I'm qualified

我没法认为自己是称职的

To come across all sanctified

遇到许多圣洁的

I just don't cut it with the cherubim

我没有派小天使解救他们

The towns already on its knees

城市摇摇欲坠

Being worshipped is a breeze

期待微风

I barely know the words to any hymn

我记不起颂歌

Listen if we don't comply

听着如果我们不遵守

With the locals wishes

当地的愿望

I see is being sacrificed or stuffed

我看见牺牲和困苦

Let's be gods the perks are great

我们来扮演上帝 利益很大

El dorado on a plate

现成的宝山

Local feelings should not be rebuffed

当地人的情感不容忽视

It's tough to be a god

当上帝不容易

Tread where mortals have not trod

走在人类没走过的路上

Be defied when really you're a sham

有时将你作为耻辱否定

Be an object of devotion

勇于献身

Be the subject of psalms

尊奉旧约

It's a terrifying notion

这想法让人恐惧

All those prayers and thos salaams

所有祷告者

Any normal man would bridle

任何一个普通人都能做到

If he's forced to be an idol

如果他必须成为榜样

And a normal mans exactly what I am

而我就是普通人

All the same it's pretty clear

这很明了

The bastards don't keep much up here

坏人不会这样

They must have zillions under lock and key

他们一定藏了很多财物

But gods can force then to unleash

但是上帝有权惩罚和释放

Enough to make us nouveau riche

足以让我们变成暴发户

Beyond our wildest dreams so follow me

不要做梦 跟着我

Can't you see I won't relax

你看不见我不能休息吗

If religious maniacs

如果宗教信徒

Tell me I'm all-powerful and sublime

告诉我我是万能并崇高的

How can I be their belief

When I'm lying through my teeth

当我说谎时

Why don't we just say some other time

为什么我们不推掉

It's tough to be a god

But if you get the peoples nod

但是如果你得到人们认同

Count your blessings

常怀感恩

Keep them sweet is my advice

Be nirvana be salvation

Butter up your congregation

对大众阿谀奉承

Every sunday score a ten

每个礼拜日都会给你加分

The alternative is dire

选择是可怕的

Simply frying pan to fire

会激起怒火

So sign on two new gods for paradise

所以雇佣两个人扮演天堂来的神吧

Paradise paradise
