Discover the story of the song > Hunger Strike – Temple Of The Dog

The protagonist sings about how he doesn't mind stealing food from rich people, but he can't bring himself to take from those who are already powerless. He sees the injustice in the world, where babies are being born while people are forced to work as slaves. He feels like he's going hungry, even though there is food on the table, because he can't live with the way things are.
