[Verse 1]
I stand here waiting for you to bang the gong (Bang the gong)
To crash the critic saying, "Is it right or is it wrong?" (Is it wrong?)
If only fame had an IV, baby, could I bear (I bear, bear)
Being away from you? I found the vein, put it in here

[Pre-Chorus]
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Applause, applause, applause, applause
Applause, applause, applause, applause
Applause, applause

[Chorus]
Plause-plause
Plause-plause

[Verse 2]
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 Koons, then suddenly the Koons is me
Pop culture was in art, now art's in pop culture, in me

[Pre-Chorus]
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause, applause, applause
I live for the applause-plause, live for the applause-plause
Live for the way that you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Applause, applause, applause, applause
Applause, applause, applause, applause
Applause, applause

[Chorus]
Plause-plause
Plause-plause
