It's a pretty catchy tune, I like the catchy rhythms and simple pop guitar lines. As for the lyrics, they're pretty obviously about the cold war/communism hysteria in the 50's but i think its just as applicable now, 10 years after it was written. People waste their time being cautious and forget to live a little (the unpopularity of flying after 9/11 & anti-arab sentiments) afterwards, they look back on it and see how stupid they were and all the time they wasted.
