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
And can captivate as much as in a concert hall
Our belief in this is as passionate as compassionate
And as undoubted, as it is sacred

We need to 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, yeah

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"
You may see something cool, something really very new
Via streaming, on YouTube, our videos you can view
Blog them, link them, MySpace, your space
Shov'it in each and every face
Link us in on Twitter, Weibo
Text your friends through Ibibo
And click that like button on Facebook too
So that your mates can see how we always try to
Talk it out
Did you like that Madam Speaker, the bit about web 3.0?

Talk it out, talk it out
Talk it out, talk it out

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)

Pack it in, fighting's out, eradicate it

I hereby rest my case
