Hunger Strike
Christopher J Cornell
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)

(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)
A Revolta Contra a Decadência: Analisando Hunger Strike do Temple Of The Dog
A música Hunger Strike, da banda Temple Of The Dog, é um hino grunge que reflete sobre questões de injustiça social e desigualdade. A banda, formada por membros do Soundgarden e do Pearl Jam, surgiu como um tributo a Andrew Wood, vocalista da banda Mother Love Bone, que faleceu de overdose. A letra da música, escrita por Chris Cornell, vocalista do Soundgarden, é carregada de emoção e crítica social.
O refrão 'I don't mind stealing bread from the mouths of decadence' sugere uma disposição para desafiar as normas e tomar o que é necessário dos ricos e decadentes, que têm mais do que o suficiente. No entanto, o verso 'But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled' revela um conflito moral; o narrador se recusa a tirar vantagem dos menos afortunados, mesmo quando ele próprio está em uma posição de excesso. Essa dualidade aponta para uma consciência social e uma crítica ao consumismo e à ganância.
A música também aborda a ideia de que, enquanto alguns se banquetam e prosperam ('the fire is cookin' e 'they're farming babies'), outros são explorados e sofrem ('while the slaves are working'). A repetição da frase 'I'm goin' hungry' serve como um ato de solidariedade para com aqueles que são oprimidos e negligenciados pela sociedade. Através de Hunger Strike, o Temple Of The Dog expressa uma mensagem poderosa sobre a necessidade de empatia e ação contra as injustiças do mundo, um tema que ressoa fortemente com os valores do movimento grunge dos anos 90.
I don't mind stealin' bread from the mouths of decadents
Não me importo de roubar pão da boca dos decadentes
But I can't feed on the powerless when my cup's already overfilled, yeah
Mas não posso me alimentar dos impotentes quando minha taça já está transbordando, sim
But it's on the table, the fire's cookin'
Mas está na mesa, o fogo está cozinhando
And they're farmin' babies, while slaves are workin'
E eles estão criando bebês, enquanto os escravos estão trabalhando
