I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong
To crash the critic saying, "is it right or is it wrong?"
If only fame had an IV, baby could I bear
Being away from you, I found the vein, put it in here
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud
Give me that thing that I love
A turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud
Applause
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
Applause
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
I've overheard your theory
Nostalgia's for geeks
I guess sir, if you say so
Some of us just like to read
One second I'm a kunst
Then suddenly the kunst is me
Pop culture was in art
Now, art's in pop culture in me
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud
Give me that thing that I love
A turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud
Applause
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
Applause
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
Touch, touch
Touch, touch, now
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love
And turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud
Give me that thing that I love
A turn the lights on
Put your hands up, make 'em touch
Make it real loud
Applause
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
Applause
Make it real loud
Put your hands up, make 'em touch, touch
