1) Goldfinger is a ska punk band formed in 1993 and named after the James Bond film. They were founded in California by John Feldmann on vocals and guitar, Simon Williams on bass, "Dangerous" Darrin Pfeiffer on drums, and Charlie Paulson on guitar.
Before they were signed to a major label, they released an EP titled Richter. Many of the songs on Richter are demo versions of songs on their full length debut, Goldfinger, which was released in 1996.

Update (6/2/12): Thank you (3 years later) velron, I have updated the chorus per your suggestion. I have also changed the chords to normal barre chords and changed the b chords to bm, as they should be. That's the song(as far as I can tell) If you have any corrections email me at [email protected]
I've stood on the kill floors in many slaughterhouses. I can only say that after those experiences, meat to me smells like hot death. Because is the smell that permeates the slaughterhouse. It conjures up memories to me of all the animals I've watched, going down hung up by the neck. Bm(play until end of speech segment) Their eyes are always wide and they're always so afraid. It's almost as if they look at and say, "Help me. This cannot be happening to me." Those animals never expect that to come, it is just too horrific.

We don't face firing quads, lifetime prison sentences, or the gases chambers for saying on our minds and in our hearts. We won't lose our lives if we speak out against animal wherever we see them, but the animals do lose theirs if we don't so we must.

Bm Our goal is total animal liberation. The day when everyone believes that animals are not ours to eat, not ours to wear, not ours to experiment, and not our for entertainment or any other exploitative purpose.
