The Book Of Mormon - Turn It Off Lyrics
I got a feelin' that you could be feelin'A whole lot better than you feel todayYou say you got a problemWell, that's no problemIt's super easy not to feel that wayWhen you start to get confusedBecause of thoughts in your headDon't feel those feelings, hold them in insteadTurn it off like a light switchJust go, clickIt's a cool little Mormon trickWe do it all the timeWhen you're feeling certain feelingsThat just don't seem rightTreat those pesky feelings like a reading lightAnd turn 'em off, light a light switchJust go backReally, what's so hard about thatTurn it off, turn it offWhen I was young my dadWould treat my mom real badEvery time the Utah Jazz would loseHe'd start a drinkin' and I'd start a thinkin'How'm I gonna keep my mom from getting abusedI'd see her all scared and my soul was dyin'My dad would say to meNow don't you dare start cryin'Turn it off like a light switchJust go flickIt's our nifty little Mormon trickTurn it off, turn it offMy sister was a dancer but she got cancerThe doctor said she still had two months moreI thought she had time, so I got in lineFor the new iPhone at the Apple StoreShe lay there dying with my father and motherHer very last words were, "Where is my brother?"Turn it off(Yeah)Bid those sad feelings adieuThe fear that I might get cancer, tooWhen I was in fifth grade I had a friend, Steve GladeHe and I were close as two friends could beOne thing led to another and soon I would discoverI was having really strange feelings for SteveI thought about us on a deserted islandWe'd swim ***** in the sea and then he'd try and whoaTurn it off like a light switchThere, it's gone(Good for you)My hetero side just wonI'm all better nowBoys should be with girlsThat's Heavenly Father's planSo if you ever feelYou'd rather be with a man, turn it offWell Elder McKinley, I think it's okayThat you're having gay thoughtsJust so long as you never act upon themNo 'cause then you're just keeping it downLike a dimmer switch on lowThinking nobody needs to knowBut that's not trueBeing gay is bad but lyin' is worseSo just realize you have a curable curseAnd turn it off, turn it off, turn it offNow how do you feel?The sameThen you've only got yourself to blameYou didn't pretend hard enoughImagine that your brain is made of tiny boxesAnd find the box that's gay and crush it, okayNo, no, I'm not having gay thoughtsAlright, it workedTurn it off , turn it off, turn it offLike a light switch, just go click(Click, click)What a cool little Mormon trick(Trick trick)We do it all the timeWhen you're feeling certain feelings that don't seem rightTreat those pesky feelings like a reading lightTurn it off like a light switch on a cordNow he's isn't gay anyTurn it, turn it, turn it off
