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)

Man I love this song. I interpret it as a political protest song, basically. But it's a great angry song, and wow, it perfectly flows. I love how they use an "Alice in Chains Staley-Cantrell" singing setup with Cornell and Eddie.
I am going out on a limb and saying that Eddie Vedder, Chris Cornell, Stone, and Mike McCready succeeded in creating the perfect song on this one. This is like, the original grunge song.
