Cantor e compositor, Rufus McGarrigle Wainwright nasceu em Nova York, em 22 de julho de 1973, filho dos cantores e músicos folk Loudon Wainwright III e Kate McGarrigle. Os pais se separaram quando ele ainda era criança. Rufus começou a tocar piano aos 6 anos de idade e, aos 13, já fazia turnês com sua irmã Martha Wainwright, a mãe Kate e a tia Anna McGarrigle. Eles se apresentavam como as "Irmãs McGarrigle e família" (“McGarrigle Sisters and Family”).

___________________ / Rufus Wainwright / "Out of the Game, it came to me through exhaustion. / Out of the Game / Just seeing these young people today doing all that they / Out of the Game / have to do for, you know, five seconds on, you know, /__________________/ youtube. When I started out in the business I jumped through a lot of hoops, you know, and I would do things that had to be done. But I was pretty dead set on having to be about the music and not so much about the image, though I did create an image. The older I get, the more exhausting that whole concept becomes. I mean, my favorite line from that song is "Wearing something from God knows where". But then again of course, the third verse is you know "Come over here, let me smell you for one last time, before you go out there, and ruin all the world once mine". It's tinged with envy as well, you know, 'cause I'd like to be that age again and that silly and that kind of excited about idiotic things. I think it's a heartfelt complaint. I'm just tired. I'm out of the game."
CHORDS: (These "voicings" are indeed somewhat coarse, but nevertheless played by Rufus!)
"I'm out of the game I've been out for a long time now I'm looking for something Can't be found on the main drag, no I'm out of the game I've been out for a long time now I'm looking for something Can't be found on the main drag, no"
"Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you suckers! Does your mama know what you're doing? Look at you, look at you, look at you, look at you suckers! Does your mama know what you're doing?"
Verse
"You're only a child with the mind of a senile man You're only a young thing About to sleep with a sea of men Just hanging around wearing something from God knows where Just having a ball making all of the thin cards fall"
Chorus
Guitar solo: Similar to a verse, then 4 bars of E.
Verse: The last bar is extended: 2/4 4/4 B7D7 % +=---=---+=---=---=---=---+=---=---=---=---+
"Say, come over here Let me smell you for one last time Before you go out there and ruin all of the world, once mine I'm out of the game I've been out for a long time now I'm looking for something Can't be found on the main drag, no"
Chorus: The last 2 bars of F are extended to 6 bars + drum soloing. Then end on E.
