[D]
I often think I'm [Gm] qualified, but come across all [D] sanctified.
Just don't cut it with the [Gm] chair up and.
[D] The town's already on its [Gm] knees, being worshipped is a [Eb] breeze.
I barely [C] know the words [A] to any [D] hand.
Listen if you don't [Gm] comply, with the [G] locals' wishes [D] I,
see as being [Gm] sacrificed or scorned.
[D] Let's regard the perks of [G] grace, El [Gm] Dorado on a [Eb] plate.
Local [Cm] feelings should not [A] be [D] reburned.
[Gm] It's tough to be a guy, [Eb] tread where mortals have not tried.
[D] Be terrified when really [Gm] you're a sham.
[F] Be a nobody [Bb] without devotion, [F] be the subject [Bb] of songs.
[G] It's a [Cm] terrifying notion, [G] all those prayers, [Cm] no salons.
[Ab] And a normal man would ride up, [G] if he's supposed to be an idol.
[Ab] And a normal [G] man's exactly [Cm] what I am.
[D] All the same, it's pretty [Gm] clear, scoundrels don't keep much up [D] here.
They must have zillions under lock and key.
[D] But God's can force them to [Gm] unleash, enough to make us a nouveau [Eb] riche.
Beyond our [Cm] wildest dreams, so [A] follow me.
[D] Can't you see I won't [Gm] relax, if religious [D] maniacs,
tell me I'm all powerful and sublime.
[Gm] How [D] can I be their [Gm] belief, when I'm lying through my teeth.
[Eb] Why don't we [Cm] just save [A] some other [D] time.
[Gm] It's tough to be a guy, but [Eb] if you get people not.
[D] God give blessings, keep them sweet, give [Gm] my advice.
[F] Be nobody [Bb] without devotion, [F] be all things to [Bb] all men.
[G] Butter up your [C] congregation, [G] every Sunday [Cm] score a tenth.
[Ab] The alternative is dire, [G] simplifying plans of fire.
[Ab] So sign on to [G] new gods for [Ab] paradise.
