----LYRICS-----
Wires got crossed when I was about 3
Dad had bloody heavy hands, used them on me
My mamma? Bless her heart, cuz she gave me a start
She got killed, bad man, dad stiffed in a scam
Grew up in the system, bounced, couple homes
This woman Mary, gifted me hand-me-down clothes
Shy at the start, till this guy named Shifty
Who had 100 pounds on me called me “Brittle Bones Nicky”
A target aimed straight at my face
Big house of kids, cred is cake
Rounded up a couple bucks, got it freshly baked
Sat down to dinner
Put it right in his face
Right in his fucking face (in his face)
You’re not gonna push me around
You can’t get me down, down, down (down!)
You’re not gonna push me around (nooo!)
You can’t get me down, down, down (down!)
Bounce ahead a couple years, king of my peers
We biked the block, cheersin’ pretty girls beers
Did alright for myself, petty thefts I pulled
I dropped outta school, built a circle of bulls
Needing more money, covered head to toe
Snuck up, sucker, took his stash, and drove
The cash stashed, it was pouring in
Bulk of it up my nose
How dumb I was, twenty-one
And way out of control
The cops kicked down the door
She did a line right off my (wow!)
Said “that’s one way to go down”
Knew I was hard as rock
Knew-I-was-hard-as-rock (hard as rock)
You’re not gonna push me around
You can’t get me down, down, down (down!)
You’re not gonna push me around (no!)
You can’t get me down, down, down (down!)
Bars, new world, who could I trust?
Killers were nice, smugglers were rough
Met a man named Ben, quite sharp & witty
Gave me books about money & cities
Taught me ropes, only years coulda gained
Looked out for each other, M.O’s the same
That night I heard Ben, turning 50 in May
Yellin’ so loud, two decades we aged
Found him cornered, pants down, shanked
Didn’t even think twice, man I barely blinked
(I barely blinked, I barely blinked)
If it cost me my life man id save my only friend
That’s something I could live with
I could take that till the end
x2
You’re not gonna push me around
You can’t get me down, down, down (down!)
You’re not gonna push me around (no!)
You can’t get me down, down, down (down!)
Now every morning, coffee, park
Walking around the city, deals light or dark
I’m straight edge as a punk, well mannered, and I feel free
Tried to do what I thought was best
And that’s coming to the grave with me
As I lay here in my final nights, I try to have a laugh
I didn’t win the game of life
But I’d give myself a pass

4 years ago, I became homeless. 2 days later, I was watching KZread while crashing at a friend's house for the night. This song was an ad before the video. I usually skipped ads but I kept listening. And then instantly found it again and listened again. And again. And again. Then Ryan and Dave. Over and over. I am man enough to admit that I cried for the first time in years. I listened to this song in my regular rotation over the course of 2 and a half years before moved playlists and forgot about this song. It's almost 2 years later, and I have a loving partner, a home, a car, and a good paying job. I stumbled on this song again while looking through my old playlists for a different song. I instantly had to listen to it again. And again and again. Thank you guys for helping motivate me to get through my toughest times. It still goes just as hard as that fist listen.

Remember seeing this as an ad a few years ago. I watched the whole thing through, got excited when it came up and rarely skipped it. Glad it came up in my recommendations again this year, absolute bsnger, and I understand the story so much better now that I'm really listening to the lyrics It's honestly a masterpiece.

When my best friend was in prison a few years ago, I found the band. I was sad and the end of time seemed invisible until I saw it. Then I heard the song: Brittle Boney Nicky a drunk on a random night. Nicky reminds me of my best friend, I felt like I wrote this song for him. Since then I know all your songs and know even though we don't know each other personally. Rare Americans catch on. I love you so much! thank you for giving me strength then and since then! Nicky is to me what Dave is to Ryan. The help for me. Thank you for letting me see you live (Hungary, Akvárium), it was the best night of my life! The playlist is on my fridge door xd

Brittle Bones Nicky is the first song I heard from rare Americans, this song means to me the first step into discovering this fantastic band. Rare Americans, is now one of my favorite bands and hearing this song gives me some flashback to simpler times. 🤣
2:12 "IF IT COST ME MY LIFE, MAN, I'D SAVE MY ONLY FRIEND, THAT'S SOMETHING I COULD LIVE WITH, I COULD TAKE THAT TO THE END!" 4 years later and it still gives me goosebumps.
"If it cost me my life, i'd save my only friend." The best line in the song.

I love the little wave and smile to ben while being tackled by guards.
I listened to this song on repeat four years ago and just remembered it existed, wow its still amazing
the video starts out with someone saying "all rise" which is what you're told to do when a judge enters a courtroom, and then skeleton Nicky rises from his grave. The video goes on to show how Nicky grew up recieving judgment and sentences from people around him (Shifty, the police, and eventually an actual judge must've put him in jail), but throughout the whole thing he continues acting in a way that he deems right. It seems that throughout the song, Nicky is the only judge that matters in his life, even at the end saying "I give myself a pass", which is the final judgment he faces and the only one that really matters to him. Edit: As a couple of people have mentioned in the replies to this comment, I think Brittle Bones Nicky 2 continues with the theme of Nicky refusing any judgement except his own. When God sends Nicky to Hell, Nicky rejects the idea that he was a bad person because he was a victim of God's injustice. When he's making the deal with God he also rejects the judgement of the chorus of people earlier who said that he's not crafty or tricky, and that he's alone. He asserts that no, he is crafty and tricky, and he's not alone because millions of people like him. And then the very last line serves to tell us that, despite everything that's happened in the song and every other judgement he's faced, he still thinks of himself as a good person and no one can change that. This seems to be a critical part of Nicky's character, and I'm interested to see how/if this will come up again in future songs.

this song is getting me through my fiance's wrongful incarceration. we used to listen to it together all the time. we can't afford a good lawyer. i've sent his empty facebook thread "if it cost me my life, man, i'd save my only friend. that's something i could live with. i could take that to the end" so many times. i'm going to put everything i have on the line for him. thank you guys for making a song like no other.

We always die everyone dies it's inevitable that's just how life is we were born to die but don't let that stop you from doing great stuff since it's the only one you get. So try to make the most of it while you can it may be rough at the time but "when life pushes you back grow wings cause you can fly" you're wonderful and if anyone says otherwise ignore them cause as long as what you're doing is not hurting anyone then its good and you should do what you want live life like you want to not show other people want it to be.
