Ultraklystron - Opensource Lyricist All tracks written, performed, mixed, recorded and produced by Karl Olson. Copyright 2005-2007.
The vaguely anticipated follow up to the relatively successful nerdcore LPs (in terms of Karl Olson's prior success,) Revision 4920 and Romance Language. Clocking in at about 80 minutes of original, new material and $14 including shipping and handling, Opensource Lyricist continues the tradition layed down in 4920 of confusing any and all listeners. Lyrically, the new LP not only stays true to the otaku-oriented roots of the first LP (earn it,) but expands into new territory, such as storytelling pieces about the life of a gachapon (coin figure,) talking with a producer at an anime con (priceless,) gnu public licencing (opensource lyricist) and even protest songs (so long kids.) Critical Praise for Opensource Lyricist: "I could probably sit down and come up with piles of accolades to pile up for each track, but honestly if you have heard any of the previous albums you should stop reading right now and go to his site and pick this one up." - Pure Defect "Do I recommend the CD? Highly." - Ben Boemer, Gaijin Side. "A devasting nerdcore masterpiece." - Jevon, Hi-Sci-Fi. "It's f***ing good!" - Garrett, Mega 64 Podcast Episode 66. Buy it now at the karlrolson.com merch store.

Luke Skywalker had it easy / cause he could feel the force All I've got is my blood / and regret and remorse Should I watch that anime? / no it's fanservicy and sexual But I think it's kind of funny / you're succombing to the devil Now I know there is no satan / that ain't part of my faith The faults gotta lie within me / so I must set my own pace But it's hard to be righteous / to be kind to be friendly All at that same time / without it being false and empty I'm not normally the type / of person to speak in platitudes But the basis of faith / is trancending our baser attitudes Our habits, our fetishes / our animalistic instincts The vitriol of violence / rather than taking time to think It's a hard life being torn / between progress and regress I'd like to confess / absolution leaves me posessessed Of a conflict between / there is no gray space or solution Torn in two by right and wrong / leaving me in confusion ch. Gonna carry that weight / every single day Bare the chest to slings and arrows / even though it don't pay I have to comtemplate / just to make my way Through decisions I am sortin / through a b-tree array v2. I have trouble passing through / these tests and difficulties No one else to hold on to / so quick to fall for the sultry Mixed with the innocent / to confuse my senses But if I buy in / then I'll be building some fences Between myself and my beliefs / becoming a hypocrite But it's such simple relief / just to opt out and quit Just Control Alt Delete / my super ego for a while Giving into the ideals / that are totally vile Selling out my potential / and selling myself short Destroying my credentials / resulting in a report In the media about how / Ultraklystron's a punk All my friends feel betrayed / saying "who have thunk?" He's a double dirty-dealer / he's like Snidely Whiplash Templing his fingers / curling a fake moustash For being a backbiter / not a freedom fighter An evil insighter / Rather than being the decider
