World War III Lyrics

Tonight I walked into the bedroom
You were visibly upset
Tellin' me I made a bad move
But I didn't do nothing

You start screamin'
Wake the neighbors
And now everybody's out for blood
I didn't want no confrontation
Because of you, that's what I've got

Well, you gotta chill out
'Cause, baby, I don't wanna fight with you
And every battle we fought
Just made us look like fools

No, you can't have a World War III
If there's only one side fighting
And you know, whoa oh
That there's lessons left to learn
Every time you attack
Doesn't drive me to fight you back
Then I know, whoa oh
That I'll never let it be
World War III
World War III

Let me tell 'em

Now you're rounding up your army
Turnin' all your troops on me
Tellin' lies just to feel happy
But I won't retaliate, no

No, you can't have a World War III
If there's only one side fighting
And you know, whoa oh
That there's lessons left to learn
Every time you attack
Doesn't drive me to fight you back
And I know, whoa oh
That I'll never let it be
World War III

Well, you gotta chill out
'Cause, baby, I don't wanna fight with you
And every battle we fought
Just made us look like fools

No, you can't have a World War III
If there's only one side fighting
And you know, whoa oh
That there's lessons left to learn
Every time you attack
Doesn't drive me to fight you back
And I know, whoa oh
That I'll never let it be
World War III
Not gonna be a World War III
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Every time you attack
Doesn't drive me to fight you back
And I know, whoa oh
That I'll never let it be
World War III
World War III
World War III

The song is saying that the girl is always starting arguments with him for no reason. Almost as if she enjoys arguing with him. She keeps arguing but he doesn't ever retaliate so the arguments are all one-sided.

"Well, you gotta chill out 'Cause, baby, I don't wanna fight with you And every battle we fought Just made us look like fools"

She takes everything he says to heart and she needs to "chill out" because he doesn't do it on purpose- he "don't wanna fight with you"

"Now you're rounding up your army Turning all your troops on me"

not sure about this bit but i took it to mean that she brings everything she can into the argument to make it bigger. She brings it all in to make her argument better.

My Opinion

The "Now you're rounding up your army, turning all your troops on me" is obviously saying that this girl is getting her friends, family, and everyone she knows to go against him and make him look like the bad guy,

"Now you're rounding up your army Turnin' all your troops on me Tellin' lies just to feel happy But I won't retaliate, no"

Nick is obviously saying that someone got ticked off at "this other person" and now this person is telling lies to try and make the "other person" look bad. But the "other person" just ignores it because he/she is the better person and doesn't want to look foolishly anymore. And if you all know what we retaliation is? It isn't very nice, and is actually extrememly foolish and child like....

It's a break-up song.

He doesn't want to deal with her female-dog-y-ness anymore, so he's breaking up with her.

Ok, Nick wrote this song. Sodo you know what this means? Medaphor! I ca't stress it enough! Is he mentioning a girl? Well yes. But that may not be the only thing he is referring to. This can relate to people in general. Trust me, I should know.

This song lyric was written by Nick, and it's about Miley.

You start screamin' Wake the neighbors And now everybody's out for blood I didn't want no confrontation Because of you, that's what I've got

Well, you gotta chill out 'Cause, baby, I don't wanna fight with you And every battle we fought Just made us look like fools (THESE PARTS TELL ABOUT HOW MILEY ALWAYS SAID ABOUT THEIR BREAK UP AND ONFTEN MENTIONED NICK'S MISTAKES THAT HURT HER, EVEN THOUGH SHE SAID SHE STILL LOVED HIM. SHE EVEN LIED TOO...remember when she told in an interview with Seventeen magz or smthn' she really was sad when they broke up coz Nick really hurt her, she even changed her style and look, for example, she said that Nick asked her to change the color of her hair, then she did that. And when they broke up she changed it into the color that Nick didn't like. That's totally lied, bcoz Miley did that for Sex and The City when she guest starred, and it was before the break up, NICK DIDN'T SAY TO RETALIATE. SHE TOLD ABOUT HOW NICK HURT HER EVERYWHERE)IT'S BECAUSE HE DIDNT WANNA ARGUE WITH HER. AND MILEY'S LIES, NICK REPLIED "TELLING LIES JUST TO FEEL HAPPY, BUT I WON'T RETALIATE)

Every time you attack Doesn't drive me to fight you back (tHESE PARTS TELL HOW NICK JUST WANT THINGS CHILL, HE WON'T FIGHT MILEY BACK FOR HER LIE)..AND IT ALSO REMINDs US HOW NICK NEVER REALLY OPENED UP ABOUT HIS GFs, Especially Miley...maybe he just mentions her in some songs, but they are always cool. He never blows it up. It's always Miley who has a big mouth. even Selena doesn't really open about her romance with Nick.

FYI, JUST SO U KNOW, I liked Miley for her personality and respected her much and felt sorry for her breaking heart bcoz of Nick. Once i noticed that Nick's a douche. But now i've found that Nick's a really nice guy. He never made his girls look like a fool in songs, she loved Miley even after break up. But Miley,i've found that she's just going to be wild. So, i lose respect for her. But i still like her music and movies, though. And I'm trying to be objective...i've done the research about this.

BTW, I'm a JB Huge fan and I'm 22...

It's about his (Nick) ex, Selena gomez always fighting and causing a war! I never liked Selena, never will. They always fought and tried to make everything ok, but it just didn't she wouldn't let it go, she started yelling, Nick did nothing and that's why he says "Because there's only one side fighting"

well at least that's what I gathered

How naive and arrogant. You obviously aren't very open minded to what he is actually saying. Either that or you aren't even a fan. Who cares about his previous relashionships?! The song is suppose to relate to everyone, and everyone is suppose to make it fit to their indiviual stories. Otherwise Nick would have said "Selena, there's only one side fighting" This song may have been inspired by a certain person, but it relates to people in general even though he is using a girl as an "example".

I don't think it's about Selena, it's obviously about a girl but obviously not her.

No it's not about selena...it's about miley...obviously. Miley always said bad things about their break up and even lied. But Nick stayed cool. that's "You can't have world war 3, if it's only one sight fighting". Selena never made crap thing to blow up
