Turn It Off

I got a feeling that you could be feeling

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 like a light switch

Just go, "Bap"

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-drinking, and I'd start a-thinking

How am I gonna keep my mom from getting abused?

I'd see her all scared, and my soul was dying

My dad would say to me, "Now don't you dare start crying"

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 Blade (Ooh, Steve Blade)

He and I were close as two friends could be (We could be close)

One thing led to another, and soon I would discover (Ooh, wow)

I was having really strange feelings for Steve (Ah, feelings for Steve)

I thought about us on a deserted island (We're all alone, ooh)

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

On low

Thinking nobody needs to know

Uh oh

But that's not true

Being gay is bad, but lying is worse

So just realize you have a curable curse

And turn it off

Turn it off, turn it off

Turn it off!

Turn it off!

Now how do you feel?

The same

Aw

Then you've only got yourself to blame

You didn't pretend hard enough

Imagine that your brain is made of tiny boxes

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

No, no, I'm not having gay thoughts

Alright, it worked!

Yay! He turned it off, turned it off

Turn it off, 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 just don't seem right (Don't seem right)

Treat those pesky feelings like a reading light

Turn it off, like a light switch on a cord

Now he isn't gay and he

Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it

Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it

Turn it

Turn it off!

Off!
