According to the Crumbs From Your Table Songfacts, Bono wrote the lyrics about how the United States and other rich countries give third-world countries only the crumbs from their tables, meaning very little relief in helping these poor nations out of debt:. Bono is also making a Biblical allusion to a story found in Matthew 15:21-28.
