Come on, you have to know this isn't Pearl Jam. Can't you hear Chris Cornell's vocals screaming in the background?

This is a song made by Temple of the Dog. Temple of the Dog is: Chris Cornell (Soundgarden) and Mother Love Bone. They made this one album-project as a tribute to the late Andrew Woods, singer of Mother Love Bone. Yes, this is also Eddie Vedder singing, but he only sings in this song.

good call no code, with patience. it's too bad all of the emotion of a lost friend had to create this beautiful collaboration. since matt cameron drummed on this album and was soundgardens drummer, but has since joined the magnificent pearljam, temple of the dogs original line-up is current pearljam, plus chris cornell of course. eddie vedder sang on more than just this song on temple of the dogs self titled album. he contributed back up vocals on "pushin' forward back," "your savior," and "four walled world."

However, this song was a shared project of Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell and Mother Love Bone before Eddie moved onto Pearl Jam. Chris Cornell happened to be the roommate of the late Mother Love Bone's lead singer Andrew Woods.

The meaning of the song is fairly straightforward, it's protesting against people who exploit the poor and helpless.

He understands that he himself is well-off in life "my cup's already overfilled" but refuses to exploit others to become any more wealthy.

So basically, the first stanza says it all: "I don't mind stealin' bread From the mouths of decadence - But I can't feed on the powerless When my cup's already over-filled"

the song is called hunger strike, and it is not a pearl jam song
