Her boyfriend, Ford, is a fast-talking hustler prepared to do anything to make a buck. Aware of Vera's promiscuity, Ford sees a chance to make big money when he meets an aging Italian media mogul, named Count Tommaso, who is enamored of Vera because of her sexuality, her intelligence, and what he perceives as her naiveté. Ford cooks up an idea to pimp Vera out to the Count for $100,000, easy money, if he can only talk Vera into it. Incredibly, she agrees. Everything appears to be going even better than planned. But both men have gravely underestimated Vera, who has an agenda of her own.

He (Power) is confronted by a figure emblematic of 'Pleasure,' who points to out to him "the easiest way," then 'Ignorance' leads him to the end of the road. where 'Destruction' stands. The classic figures disappear and the story begins: 'Power-The Absentee' leaves his factory in charge of his manager 'Might." who wrecks the property in order that his wife, 'Extravagance," and his daughter, 'Vanity,' may devote themselves to lives of selfish pleasure. It is only when 'Justice,' the office stenographer. forces 'Power' to right the harm done to his employees that he sees the error in believing that 'Might' is right. Then comes the realization that 'Justice' should go hand-in-hand with 'Power," and so they are wed, and 'Ambition,''Opportunity' and 'Success' array themselves on his side.

convincing us all in every single kind of way
cos you frame the words so that we really believe
that there's a depth in the message that you're trying to achieve
so you twist your tongue to make it all sound true
making us believe that we haven't got a clue
you tell us all exactly what you think we want to hear
with theatrical tactics to boost your career
every promise you make is just a promise you break
and you can never admit that you could make a mistake
because you say one thing and you mean something else
you only care about yourself and your wealth

power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
do you want it, why do you want it
with your military mind you were born a leader
and discipline and order is an everyday procedure
so bring out the man in every innocent boy
and teach them how to kill so they can search and destroy
to protect and to serve and die with honour and pride
you say you're fighting for peace but that's the biggest lie
you're preparing for war and your martial law
but you don't know what it's for anymore
so all i say is
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
power to the one who doesn't want it
do you want it, why do you want it

power is an enemy
power is pain
power is a war but to you it's just a game
power is glory
power is gold
power is chaos and you're out of control
power isn't freedom
power is a cage
power is your sin and it feeds my rage
