The song is referring to a Bob Dylan interview from the 1960s when Dylan was asked by a reported if he was an anarchist. Dylan said, "Give the anarchist a cigarette." Chumba was making fun of it and suggesting a more direct approach to attacking the state..

Widać że wielkie sceny to nie żywioł Chumby. Kluby, festiwale niezależne., własna publiczność,, Klimat., siła, przekaz.

the implication is that a true anarchist would take the cigarette and burn the place down therefore bob dylan was full of shit basically.

@johnnynativeseed if that is what they didnt understand the quote, give the anarchist a cigarette would suggest, that the anachist is just someone who isnt really on a mission, but just unhappy and angry with the way life has turned out for them, so give him a cigarette to calm down, what he's sayin is these artists who give it the angry political are just pathetic, really doin nothin to change things in the world and just stampin the feet, ineffectual. chumbawamba 2 a t
