La chanson raconte l'histoire de Billy, un enfant en surpoids qui subit les moqueries de ses camarades à l'école. Malgré cela, il reste indifférent aux critiques et suit les règles de manière exemplaire. En grandissant, ses camarades adoptent des habitudes de fumeurs pour se donner un genre, tandis que Billy, lui, ne cède pas à cette pression. Au fil du temps, ces mêmes enfants deviennent des adultes aux prises avec des problèmes de santé liés à leurs choix de vie. En contrastant la vie de Billy avec celle de ses anciens amis, la chanson souligne comment la résistance face aux préjugés et aux pratiques néfastes permet à Billy de mener une vie plus saine et plus stable, même s'il doit alors porter le fardeau de la perte de ceux qui l'entourent.
