Liar
Screeching Weasel · Other Songs - Screeching Weasel
So afraid you'll be a bore
So you make up stories, spread gossip and lies
But it's the kind of bullshit that nobody buys
You're a liar, you're liar, fuck you
You're a liar, you're liar, fuck you
I haven't heard a convincing one yet
About to be busted, you're starting to sweat
Quick change the subject, hell, nobody cares
The fact is you're a liar, we're all quite aware
You're a liar, you're a liar, fuck you
You're a liar, you're a liar, fuck you
Couldn't tell a story straight wouldn't know how to begin
'Cause telling the truth would be a mortal sin
You make up lies for lack of something to do
You're a worthless old douchebag and I hate you
You're a liar, you're a liar, fuck you
You're a liar, you're a liar, fuck you
You're a liar, you're a liar, fuck you
You're a liar, liar, fuck you

Screeching Weasel's "Liar" stands as a quintessential example of the band's signature blend of punk energy and melodic sensibility. Released during the late 1980s, the track exemplifies the raw, high-octane sound that defined the New York hardcore and pop-punk scenes of that era. The song features the band's characteristic driving rhythm section and frontman Mike Watt's distinctive vocal delivery, which often oscillates between aggressive shouting and melodic singing. As a staple of their discography, "Liar" captures the rebellious spirit and youthful urgency that made Screeching Weasel influential figures in the development of modern alternative rock. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to channel the frustration and excitement of the punk movement while maintaining a catchy, radio-friendly structure.
