When asked about some of the lyrical content on his upcoming album 'Out of the Game' ("Look at you suckers/Does your mama know what you're doing?"), Wainwright said, "I think a lot of it has to do with Lady Gaga, to be honest. I totally admire her tenacity, her ambition and her strength of vision. There's just not one good song there."
Wainwright added that "people, especially gay men, are falling so hard for it," before describing Gaga's presentation as "a bit disingenuous."
"We are in this somewhat sinister period [and artists have] got to kind of toughen up and be real. I guess I want to put a little bit more grit into my presentation of what's happening in the world. It's about conveying what's inside us, as opposed to the return of the cone breasts. I find it predictable and boring."
