Turn It Off

I got a feelin' that you could be feelin'

A whole lot better than you feel today

You say you got a problem

Well, that's no problem

It's super easy not to feel that way

When you start to get confused

Because of thoughts in your head

Don't feel those feelings, hold them in instead

Turn it off like a light switch

Just go, click

It's a cool little Mormon trick

We do it all the time

When you're feeling certain feelings

That just don't seem right

Treat those pesky feelings like a reading light

And turn 'em off, light a light switch

Just go back

Really, what's so hard about that

Turn it off, turn it off

When I was young my dad

Would treat my mom real bad

Every time the Utah Jazz would lose

He'd start a drinkin' and I'd start a thinkin'

How'm I gonna keep my mom from getting abused

I'd see her all scared and my soul was dyin'

My dad would say to me

Now don't you dare start cryin'

Turn it off like a light switch

Just go flick

It's our nifty little Mormon trick

Turn it off, turn it off

My sister was a dancer but she got cancer

The doctor said she still had two months more

I thought she had time, so I got in line

For the new iPhone at the Apple Store

She lay there dying with my father and mother

Her very last words were, "Where is my brother?"

Turn it off

(Yeah)

Bid those sad feelings adieu

The fear that I might get cancer, too

When I was in fifth grade I had a friend, Steve Glade

He and I were close as two friends could be

One thing led to another and soon I would discover

I was having really strange feelings for Steve

I thought about us on a deserted island

We'd swim naked in the sea and then he'd try and whoa

Turn it off like a light switch

There, it's gone

(Good for you)

My hetero side just won

I'm all better now

Boys should be with girls

That's Heavenly Father's plan

So if you ever feel

You'd rather be with a man, turn it off

Well Elder McKinley, I think it's okay

That you're having gay thoughts

Just so long as you never act upon them

No 'cause then you're just keeping it down

Like a dimmer switch on low

Thinking nobody needs to know

But that's not true

Being gay is bad but lyin' is worse

So just realize you have a curable curse

And turn it off, turn it off, turn it off

Now how do you feel?

The same

Then you've only got yourself to blame

You didn't pretend hard enough

Imagine that your brain is made of tiny boxes

And find the box that's gay and crush it, okay

No, no, I'm not having gay thoughts

Alright, it worked

Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off

Like a light switch, just go click

(Click, click)

What a cool little Mormon trick

(Trick trick)

We do it all the time

When you're feeling certain feelings that don't seem right

Treat those pesky feelings like a reading light

Turn it off like a light switch on a cord

Now he's isn't gay any

Turn it, turn it, turn it off
