Lyric discussion by skonk 

This song is awesome. It has to be my favorite song by Boston, too.

I believe the message within this song has to do with a clash between personality types A and B-psychological terms describing frame behaviors of certain people. Type A personalities are driven, the stop-for-nothing type, these are the achievers, the CEOs. Unfortunately, they suffer heart attacks frequently, for example. Type B people are the laid back types, they don't care if they climb to the top as much, just as long as they have peace of mind.
