Viagra Culture
Revolting Cocks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day, my thoughts are consumed by winning
I must win
At everything I do, I my win
My car must win
My money must win
My house must win
My hair must win
My kids must win
My weiner must win
My wife must win
My mistress must win
Wy trip to the bunny ranch must win

I must win in business
I must win when I mow the lawn
If I do not win, I am not in control
So I must win
Again and again
I don't need more
But I must have it
More more
Or the game gets old
I must win
I must win
Everyone else must lose
Because I must win

We have me the weapon of mass destruction...
And it is us

First in war
First in guns
First in beauty
First in fun
First in waste, first to first base
First in bloody aftertaste
First in waste, first to first base
First in bloody aftertaste

This is Viagraculture
This is the USA

Me: Arnold
You: Girls gone wild
This is how life must be
To keep the sheep asleep
Viagra stars
Viagra cars
Viagra bars
Viagra scars

This is Viagraculture
This is the USA

This is what you get x4

This is Viagraculture
This is the USA

This is what you get x4

Ah nothing is ever enough
We get bored when we can't get stuff
We like our leaders to be stupid and violent
Regular guys like us
What's so bad about the fall of Rome
When we're the ones who got all the gold
Never share anything with anyone else
Or you're a bunch of girly men





This is Viagraculture
This is the USA

Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of Revolting Cocks’s “Viagra Culture” reveal a fixation with winning – there’s a narcissistic, all-consuming obsession with being the best at everything. The lyrics suggest that winning is a constant goal and the need for more material possessions to achieve total control (e.g. win at “business” and “wife” and “mistress”) is never ending. The repetition of the words “I must win” reiterates the point of just how ingrained this need for total control is.


The song uses satire to criticize American culture, highlighting the impact of consumerism on everyday life. The lyrics indirectly criticize America’s over-reliance on capitalism and the rigged culture of competition, with a “me first” ethos of survival emphasized through the repeated use of the word “must”. The song also mocks society’s obsession with youthfulness, virility and grandeur, making a play on the word ‘viagra’ and how it is linked to the idea of ‘winning’ in life. The lines “This is Viagraculture – This is the USA” sums up the message behind the lyrics.
