Cover art for Hunger Strike lyrics by Temple of the Dog

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.
