Hunger Strike Lyrics
[Verse: Chris Cornell]
Well I don't mind stealin' bread from the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled
Yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Chris Cornell]
But it's on the table, the fire's cookin'
And they're farmin' babies while the slaves are all workin'
And blood is on the table and the mouths are chokin'
[Chorus: Chris Cornell]
But I'm goin' hungry, yeah
[Verse: Eddie Vedder]
I don't mind stealin' bread from the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled, uh-uh, uh
[Pre-Chorus: Eddie Vedder]
But it's on the table, the fire's cookin'
And they're farmin' babies while the slaves are all workin'
And it's on the table, their mouths are chokin'
[Chorus: Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell]
But I'm goin' hungry (Goin' hungry!)
I'm goin' hungry (Goin' hungry!)
I'm goin' hungry (Goin' hungry!)
I'm goin' hungry (Goin' hungry!)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus: Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell]
I'm goin' hungry (I'm goin' hungry!)
I'm goin' hungry (Goin' hungry!)
[Outro: Chris Cornell, Eddie Vedder]
Yeah, I don't mind stealin' bread! (Ooh, I don't mind)
No, I don't mind stealin' bread
I'm goin' hungry (Goin' hungry!)
I'm goin' hungry (Goin' hungry, yeah!)

What did Temple of the Dog say about "Hunger Strike"?
“Hunger Strike” and “Wooden Jesus” were ideas that might have been a few months old, but I had never really finished writing or fully realized them.
