Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Well, I don't mind stealing bread

From the mouths of decadence

But I can't feed on the powerless

When my cup's already overfilled

Yeah

[PreChorus]

But it's on the table

The fire's cooking

And they're farming babies

While the slaves are all working

The blood is on the table

And the mouths are choking

But I'm going hungry, yeah

[Verse 2]

I don't mind stealing bread

From the mouths of decadence

But I can't feed on the powerless

When my cup's already overfilled, uh-huh

[PreChorus]

But it's on the table

The fire's cooking

And they're farming babies

And the slaves are all working

And it's on the table

The mouths are choking

[Chorus]

But I'm going hungry

Going hungry

I'm going hungry

Going hungry

I'm going hungry

I'm going hungry

I'm going hungry

Going hungry

[Chorus]

I'm going hungry

Going hungry

I'm going hungry

Going hungry

[Bridge]

Yeah, I don't mind stealing bread

Ooh, I don't mind

No, I don't mind stealing bread

Yeah

[Chorus]

I'm going hungry

Going hungry

I'm going hungry

Going hungry, yeah
