I was a bit angered when I viewed the final result of the commercial album of The Road To El Dorado. Feeling as though Elton John and Tim Rice did a decent job, the true glory and honor belong to Hans Zimmer and John Powell. I just recently saw The Road To El Dorado and fell in love with the score especially the track Going to El Dorado.

The Road Up Raritan Historic District is located along River Road in Piscataway, Middlesex County, New Jersey.[3] It is north of Raritan Landing, once an important inland port on the Raritan River during the 18th and 19th centuries. The name is taken from an earlier colonial era name for what was once a Lenape path, Assunpink Trail that became a main road parallel to the river.[4][5] Piscataway Township itself was formed on December 18, 1666[6] as one of the first seven townships in East Jersey, and is one of the oldest municipalities in the state.[7] The district includes nine of fourteen historic homes along an approximately 1.2 miles stretch of River Road.[8] The Metlar-Bodine House[9] and the Cornelius Low House are also in the immediate vicinity.
There are seven contributing properties in the district plus two properties that were previously listed.

The Road To El Dorado
To come across all sanctified
I just don't cut it with the cherubim
Being worshipped is a breeze
I barely know the words to any hymn
Listen if we don't comply
With the locals' wishes
I can see is being sacrificed or stuffed
Let's be Gods, the perks are great
El Dorado on a plate
Local feelings should not be rebuffed
It's great to be a God
Tread where mortals have not trod
Be defied 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 thos 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 bastards don't keep much up here
They must have zillions under lock and key
But Gods can force then 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 great 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
All the alternative is dire
Simply frying pan to fire
So sign on two new Gods for paradise
