It's called "Hungerstrike" and it's by Temple of the Dog which later branched out to be Soundgarden and Pearl Jam. It was released as a single and also on their "Temple of the Dog" album.

Thanks for the question.
The band was actually Temple of the Dog and the song was Hunger Strike. It was from their selftitled album released in 1991 featured members of Pearl Jam and Soundgarden.
Temple of the Dog was started by Chris Cornell. After the death of his former roommate, Mother Love Bone singer Andrew Wood, Cornell wrote two songs in tribute: "Say Hello 2 Heaven" and "Reach Down". Cornell approached Wood's former bandmates, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament, with the intention of releasing the songs as a single.
With the band completed following the addition of Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron (who would later join Pearl Jam after the breakup of Soundgarden in April 1997) and future Pearl Jam lead guitarist Mike McCready, the band started rehearsing the songs, as well as re-working some existing material from demos done by Gossard/Ament/Cameron. One such demo became a song for both bands as "Footsteps" for Pearl Jam and "Times of Trouble" for Temple of the Dog. The rehearsals soon led to several new songs, and the single soon became an album.
Eddie Vedder, who had flown to Seattle to audition to be Pearl Jam's singer, ended up providing backing vocals. "Hunger Strike" became a duet between Cornell and Vedder. Cornell was having trouble with the vocals at practice, when Vedder stepped in. Cornell later said that "he sang half of that song not even knowing that I'd wanted the part to be there and he sang it exactly the way I was thinking about doing it, just instinctively."
Most of Temple of the Dog would go on to become Pearl Jam and release Ten which would become a huge hit later in 1991.
In the summer of 1992, the album received new attention. Though the album had been released more than a year earlier, A&M Records realized that they had in their catalog what was essentially a collaboration between Soundgarden and Pearl Jam, who had both risen to mainstream attention in the months since the album's release. A&M decided to re-issue the album and promote "Hunger Strike" as a single, with the video subsequently entering heavy rotation on MTV. The attention allowed both the album and single to chart on Billboard. The single went top 10 on the rock charts while the album was a top five album in 1992.
While rehearsing and writing the material for the album, the band played a full show in Seattle at the Off Ramp Café on November 13, 1990. In the time since the album's release, the band reformed for short live performances on two occasions where both Soundgarden and Pearl Jam were performing. In October 1991, the band performed "Hunger Strike" at the Foundations Forum showcase. In September 1992, the band performed "Hunger Strike" and "Reach Down" at the last show of that year's Lollapalooza festival.
At a show on October 28, 2003, Pearl Jam was joined on-stage by Chris Cornell for renditions of "Hunger Strike" and "Reach Down". The version of "Reach Down" recorded that night later appeared on Pearl Jam's annual Ten Club Christmas Single that year. Pearl Jam has also been known to perform the song live on their own on rare occasion.
If you like Pearl Jam or Soundgarden, I would definitely recommend that you pick up the "Temple of the Dog" album. It is definitely worth a listen.
I have provided some links providing more information.
Thanks for the question.

temple of the dog - "hunger strike"
I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadents
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled, Yeahhhh
But it's on the table
The fire is cooking
And they're farming babies
While slaves are working
Blood is on the table
And the mouths are choking
But I'm going hungry
I don't mind stealing bread
From the mouths of decadents
But I can't feed on the powerless
When my cup's already overfilled
But it's on the table
The fires cooking
And they're farming babies
While the slaves are all working
And it's on the table
The mouths are choking
But I'm going hungry
I'm going hungry
