Embrace Dissent
(Wladislaw Jachtchenko/ Daniil Pakhomenko)

I understand your position
You have your breaking mission
Your debating behaviour is on
It has been your decision
To stand in competition
With the best debaters of the world.

You are smart, well-prepared and keen
So c’mon bring debating to Berlin
You’re here to go for the win
So here is your chance, so what you’re gonna do is:

Embrace Dissent
Impress with your winning argument
Embrace Dissent
Be ready to give all 110%

– Correct me if I got the debate wrong
I thought both closing teams were really strong
– Are you sure, ‚cause in 1st prop was Oxford A
If we put them 3rd, will it be okay?
– Don’t forget my dear, I’m the CA
If I say they lost, it is okay

We believe in miracles
ESL can break on 20 points
We believe in miracles
Well let us be serious
It’s not gonna happen
But here’s the good news for you all:

If you don’t win the competition
There’s still a party mission
Your dancing behavior is on
So here is your position
Now beer’s your ammunition
Relax, dance and have fun

You’re young, attractive and keen
So c’mon bring the party to Berlin
You’re here not only to win
And this is your time, so what you’re gonna do is:

Embrace Dissent
Impress with your winning argument
Embrace Dissent
Be ready to give all 110%
