Madam Speaker
My honourable opposition
Members of the house

Let me make it clear
At the very outset of this debate
That our position is not based on ideology

But instead on that which constitutes the foundation
Of any civil society


There's an elementary thought
A very simple aim
It hits us very hard when viewed, with blunt disdain

It's a sentiment we've drawn from a very ancient age
Takes us forward through the past, with our roots it does engage
It's our mission, an ambition, a simple aspiration

To propagate the virtue of civil debate
Where respect to aggression does, invalidate


Now there are some people who just don't care about that
But we live it, we breathe it, and we never underrate it
Because we believe

That when there are problems
You know, conflicts to solve
We must, the past absolve

And to dialogue resolve

That's the only reason, the motive that we

Have turned this debate into a melody
See we try so very hard to put on a show
And get other people to twig, and to know

Professional debating's a boon for us all
Can captivate as much as in a concert hall
Our belief in this is as passionate as compassionate

'N as undoubted, as it is sacred

We need t'-see dialogue reaching far greater heights

It's a real man's technique, to diffuse without fight
It's a creed for us debaters, our love and respite
We simply don't like displays of crude might

So turn off the heat, let brain cells meet
And keep it sweet, just like this beat
In other words

Don't agitate, just debate
On that point, madam speaker


Talk it out, talk it out and just debate it
Kabhi lardna nahi (Hindi: don't ever fight)
Use dialogue and just go face it

Pyar se darna nahin (Hindi: don't fear the path of love)
Get talking, just go ahead and do it
That was Hindi, let's try French

Rhapsodize, verbalise, communicate it
C'est une chanson pour le monde (French: it's a song for the world)
Get wise, talk it out and just debate it

C'est la loi pour chaque homme (French: it's the law for every man)

When you're representing people, legislator or MP

You've got to learn debating, be as civil as can be
There can never be good reason for you to ever shout
And it's nothing less than criminal if you ever do walk out

Throw a mic or a chair and you've shown that you're a lout
An egotistical deserter, unworthy of any clout
SO

Never underestimate how much this all your voters hate

And let me make it clear, and there's a simple message here

That in what we sometimes take for granted, our democracy
The heartbeat, the bedrock of civil society
You've got to stick to what the rules are, the law of the land

In which the role of dialogue, plays a vastly crucial hand

That's why we're proud proponents of this rarer form of art

In a message that we're rapping directly from the heart
We are absolutely fearless when armed with nothing more
Than perpetual conviction to take it to the floor

That is the debater's floor
Over here, there is no gore
Just thoughtfulness, passion and sanity
And a trade in the currency of, mutuality


So if you want to see a fight of altogether new proportions
Or you're feeling dumbed down by idiocy in hefty portions
Do a search on the world wide web
What (Jeremy) Clarkson calls the interweb
The search words are 'The Indian Debating Union'

Did you like that Madam Speaker, the bit about web 3.0 ?


Talk it out, talk it out, and just debate it
Pyaar da kehna aihi (Punjabi: that's the call of love)
Embrace it, as if you're gonna mate it
Ai-te changa sahi (Punjabi: that's a good thing)
Good karma, just don't invalidate it

From Punjabi a Espanol
Use dialogue, subvert th'jerks who hate it
Un mensaje para el mundo (Spanish: a message for the world)
Talk it out, have a chat, 'n just debate it
Un esfuerzo estupendo! (Spanish: a wonderful force)
