The way i took the song (while watching the video) was (There's nothing to do here, some just whine and compliain = two boys living on a farm with nothing to do with themselves.) (nurses are fussing = mothers complaining the two boys being too rowdy) (Doctors on tour = fathers not home, maybe for work reasons or going to the bar.) In the video it shows that the one of the boys' had a crush on a girl, only to find his best friend kissing her, and the betrayed friend angrily walks away, and flashes forward to the two boys, that are now men and both are pro boxers. (I've got one friend laying across from me = the two men are now sitting in the corners arcoss from each other in the boxing ring) (I did not chose him, he did not chose me =that they didn't chose to fight one another.) (We've got no chance of recovery = their friendship can not be mended because of what happened when they were younger.) (joy and misery = their are happy to see each other, but miserable that they know their friendship can not be saved.) (put out the fire on us = someone calm the hate for one another) (bring your nieces and your cousins = bring your family to watch the fight?) In the video, a woman walks in with her two children, and she turns out to be the girl from the beginning that ruined the boys' friendship, whom had kids with the best friend. Again, that's what i thought the song was about while watching the music video, a reference to the past of both the boxers.
@Yankee202 I agree with your interpretation. I think that "bring your nieces bring your cousins" = they ( the two men) want help to save themselves and their friendship from failing. They are willing to seek help from anyone in order to do this.
