Ever felt like the world's injustices are just too much to bear? This song dives deep into that feeling. It's about rejecting the excesses of a privileged life while others suffer. The lyrics "I don't mind stealin' bread from the mouths of decadents" highlight a disdain for the wealthy who exploit the powerless. Yet, it goes further—expressing a refusal to take more when already having enough, even if it means going hungry. It paints a grim picture of societal inequality with "the blood is on the table and the mouths are chokin'," emphasizing how dire things have become. Ultimately, it's a powerful anthem about standing up against greed and choosing empathy over exploitation.
Hunger Strike
Lyrics
I don't mind stealin' bread from the mouths of decadents
But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled, yeah
But it's on the table, the fire's cookin'
And they're farmin' babies, while slaves are workin'
The blood is on the table and the mouths are chokin'
But I'm goin' hungry, yeah
I don't mind stealin' bread from the mouths of decadents
But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled, uh huh
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'
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)
I'm goin' hungry (goin' hungry)
I'm goin' hungry (goin' hungry)
(Yeah, I don't mind stealin' bread) uh, I don't mind
(No, I don't mind stealin' bread)
I'm goin' hungry (goin' hungry)
I'm goin' hungry (goin' hungry)
