This song is awfully irresponsible, basically telling kids to have unprotected sex and not worry if they get pregnant, or worry about anything because "time is on your side". Real great message!
I do like the lines, "We got just one shot of life, let's take it while we're still not afraid... Because life is so brief and time is a thief when you're undecided".
But the message of the song that teen pregnancy is just great and that youth should be totally reckless has always bothered me.
@Reynard Muldrake I’m astounded that your comment got downvoted. Guess a lot of people think it’s great to become an adult at 17 with no future, no money & a baby you’re solely responsible for when you can’t even take care of yourself. Good luck getting a job at 17 that pays enough to support your new bundle of joy. Bye-bye, “freedom”! Yay for irresponsibility! 😂
