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!
Like a light switch, just ust go back
Really, what's so hard about that?
Turn it off!
Turn it off, right there!

When I was young, my dad would treat my mom real bad
Every time the Utah jags would lose
He started drinking
And I started 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 laid there dying with my father and mother
Her very last words were
"Where is my brother?"

Turn it off! (Yeah!)
Bid those sad feelings adiue
The fear that I might get cancer too (haha)

When I was in fifth grade
I had a friend, Steve Blade (uh, Steve Blade)
He and I were close as two friends could be (we could be)
One thing led to another
And soon I would discover (what?)
I was having really strange feelings for Steve (ah-ah, feelings for Steve)

I thought about us on a deserted island (in the island)
We'd swim naked in the sea
And then he'd try and
Woah!

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 Mckennly, I think it's okay if you're having gay thoughts")
("Just so long as you don't act on them")

No!
'Cause then you're just keeping it down
Like a dimmer switch on low (on low)
Thinking nobody needs to know (oh-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
Yeah, how do you feel?
The same! (aww)
And you've only got yourself to blame
You didn't pretend hard enough
Imagine that your brain is made of tiny boxes
The kind of box that gay and, crush it

Okay!
No, no I'm not having gay thoughts
Alright, it worked!

Hey!
Turn it off, turn 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 anymore

Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it
Turn it, turn it, turn it, turn it
Turn it

Turn it off!
