This song is a long story about a homosexual high school kid named Alberto who is a perfect student and a star athlete living in a perfect family but he doesnt want people to know his secret so he gets a girlfriend, but one day the word gets out and the football players and gym teacher make his life miserable, tormenting him with verbal abuse. one day at school they beg for his forgiveness and invite him to a party, only to isolate him and drunkenly beat him to death that night.
The second verse is about how his girlfriend Maria got invited to the same party by a girl named Carrie Anne, who was jealous of Maria because she could sing and had aspirations to be a star. Carrie Anne ends up hooking Maria up with a bag of heroin, which takes her out so when Alberto was dying, she was nowhere to be found. Finally, during Alberto's funeral in May, Carrie Anne dies in a crash leaving the funeral...
I have no idea if this is a true story or not and i may have left a few parts out but the message of the song i believe is in the lines: "don't be a slave and behave the way they do, just utilize the gifts that God gave you"
