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 I.V., 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 you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch (make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) 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 Koons, then suddenly the Koons 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 you cheer and scream for me
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch (make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) 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 you cheer and scream for me.
The applause, applause, applause
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch (make it real loud)
Give me that thing that I love (I’ll turn the lights on)
Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch (make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make ’em touch (make it real loud)
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Make it real loud
(A-P-P-L-A-U-S-E) Put your hands up, make ’em touch, touch

Prevod pesme
Aplauz
Stojim ovde čekajući udarac u gong
Da razbijem kritičare govoreći, “Da li je to u redu ili ne?”
Kad bi samo slava bila intravenozna, dušo, da li bih izdržala
Da budem daleko od tebe, našla sam venu, stavi tu
Ja živim za aplauz, aplauz, aplauz
Ja živim za aplauz-plauz
Živim za aplauz-plauz
Živim za vaše klicanje i vrisku
Aplauz, aplauz, aplauz
Dajte mi ono što volim (upaliću svetla)
Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu (neka bude stvarno glasno)
Dajte mi ono što volim (upaliću svetla)
Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu (neka bude stvarno glasno)
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Neka bude stvarno glasno
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Neka bude stvarno glasno
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu
Načula sam vašu teoriju “nostalgija za štrebere”
Valjda je tako, gospodo, ako vi kažete, neki od nas prosto vole da čitaju
Jednog trenutka ja sam Kuns, a već sledećeg on je ja
Pop kultura u umetnosti je postojala, sad sam umetnost u pop kulturi ja
Ja živim za aplauz, aplauz, aplauz
Ja živim za aplauz-plauz
Živim za aplauz-plauz
Živim za vaše klicanje i vrisku
Aplauz, aplauz, aplauz
Dajte mi ono što volim (upaliću svetla)
Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu (neka bude stvarno glasno)
Dajte mi ono što volim (upaliću svetla)
Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu (neka bude stvarno glasno)
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Neka bude stvarno glasno
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Neka bude stvarno glasno
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu
Dodirnu, dodirnu
Dodirnu, dodirnu sad
Ja živim za aplauz, aplauz, aplauz
Ja živim za aplauz-plauz
Živim za aplauz-plauz
Živim za vaše klicanje i vrisku
Aplauz, aplauz, aplauz
Dajte mi ono što volim (upaliću svetla)
Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu (neka bude stvarno glasno)
Dajte mi ono što volim (upaliću svetla)
Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu (neka bude stvarno glasno)
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Neka bude stvarno glasno
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Neka bude stvarno glasno
(A-P-L-A-U-Z) Dignite ruke, neka se dodirnu, dodirnu
