LIAR!!!
The lyrics to No For An Answer's song Liar are quite straightforward and blunt. The singer is directing their accusatory words towards someone else, labeling them as a liar. The singer is so convinced of this person's deceit that they are not even willing to give that person the chance to deny it. They state that they would not believe them anyway. The singer also expresses a refusal to accept any new or alternate ways of thinking or behaving that this person may present, as they do not trust them at all.
The repetition of "liar" at the end of the stanza emphasizes the singer's anger and frustration with this person. The use of exclamation marks also adds to the intensity of the lyrics. The tone of the song is aggressive and confrontational, as the singer is protesting against the betrayal of trust that they perceive from this person.
