"When you're so hungry that you'd believe anything" - I think they're talking about what scalewagjim and ...and i melt are talking about; taking advantage of the size of the world...the way corporate america looks at it, the world has so much space so it must be used, and with third-world countries out there (that continue to be third-world countries because of US [that was a pun if you didn't catch it (I'm american by the way, but don't want to start any war)]) since the starvers (hence the song title) are desperate for aide that should be given to them so the US invades these places and use the starving people because they'd "believe anything"...well, consider this the politics of starving.
