Hunger Strike Lyrics

I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
And it's on the table
The fire's is cooking
And they're farming babies
While the slaves are working
The blood is on the table
The mouths are choking
I'm going hungry, yeah

I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadence
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
And it's on the table
The fire is cooking
And they're farming babies
While the slaves are working
The blood is on the table
The mouths are choking

I'm going hungry (I'm going hungry)
I'm going hungry (I'm going hungry)
I'm going hungry (I'm going hungry, yeah)
I'm going hungry (I'm going hungry, yeah)

Oh yeah
Ooh
Yeah
Yeah

I'm going hungry (I'm going hungry)
I'm going hungry (I'm going hungry)
Yeah

Ooh
Ooh yeah
Oh yeah
Oh

I don't mind stealing bread
Ooh
I don't mind stealing bread
Yeah

I'm going hungry (I'm going hungry)
Yeah
I'm going hungry (I'm going hungry)
Yeah
Ooh

What is the Meaning of Hunger Strike?

This powerful anthem by Halestorm delves deep into themes of social injustice, inequality, and moral conflict. The lyrics reveal a disdain for the privileged ("decadence") who exploit others, while expressing an inability to exploit the vulnerable when already in a state of excess. The imagery of "farming babies" and "slaves are working" highlights the cruelty and exploitation within societal systems. The repetition of "I'm going hungry" conveys both a physical hunger and a spiritual or moral hunger for justice and equity. The song underscores the tension between personal ethics and systemic corruption, creating a poignant commentary on modern societal dynamics. #SocialJustice #Inequality #MoralConflict #Empathy
