Turn It Off

Lyrics

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
