This Means War Lyrics
To line up to the ring
For a battle that you can’t win
Swing as hard as you can swing
It will still mean nothing
Should’ve seen it coming
It had to happen sometime
But you went and brought a knife
To an all out gun fight
And the only thing to save
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave
You’ve gone too far
Who do you think you are
Is this what you came for
Well this means war
Say anything you want
But talk will get you nowhere
The only thing you brought is psychological warfare
Well there’s no getting off
And now you got to wonder
Who will dig you out when you’re six feet under
And the only thing to save
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave
You’ve gone too far
Who do you think you are
Is this what you came for
Well this means war
And the only thing to save
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave
You’ve gone too far
Who do you think you are
Is this what you came for
Well this means war
WELL THIS MEANS WAR
For a battle that you can’t win
Swing as hard as you can swing
It will still mean nothing
Should’ve seen it coming
It had to happen sometime
But you went and brought a knife
To an all out gun fight
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave
Who do you think you are
Is this what you came for
Well this means war
But talk will get you nowhere
The only thing you brought is psychological warfare
Well there’s no getting off
And now you got to wonder
Who will dig you out when you’re six feet under
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave
Who do you think you are
Is this what you came for
Well this means war
Is the banner that you wave
To be wrapped around your grave
Who do you think you are
Is this what you came for
Well this means war

This is pretty close to how I feel about SOPA and PIPA.
I think Nickelback is amazing and the song is pretty self explanitory.
It's about a wrestling or boxing match ("Climb into the ring for a battle that you can't win", "Swing as hard as you can swing, it will still mean nothing"). It doesn't say anything about protecting your hands, so I'll say it's about wrestling.
The lines "You've gone to far/Who do you think you are?/Is this what you came for?/Well, this means war" sound like it's an answer to Sum 41's song "A.N.I.C."
Although it was written before the Corey Taylor beef, this song could be used to get back at Corey for the insults he hurled at Chad. Corey, at least Chad shows his face when he is performing. You cover your face like you're from a place that gets cold and snow all year long. You're just jealous because he slept with Avril Lavigne and you didn't.
@seeing Corey shows his face with Stone Sour (his other band). I don't think Corey would be jealous of anything Chad has or had.
