The final cut on the album is entitled 'Pass The Gun Around' and it is quite a moving ballad. However, the lyrical themes aren't out of some creepy miserable horror movie, or about unrequited love - instead they are out of Alice Cooper's creepy miserable life. It was no secret that he was an alcoholic, and here he is bearing his soul for all the world to hear. Musically, it's an 'epic' sort of song with a repetitive ending that has the same sort of effect as 'Hey Jude'. Perhaps if the lyrics didn't contain such strong suicide imagery, people might be compelled to sing along with it in droves! 09/09 - Pass The Gun Around (Cooper, Wagner) "Sonny wakes up in the morning feeling kinda sick Needs a little Stoli Vodka, needs it really quick Sees a little blood run from his eyes Feels a little hotel paralyzed Pass the gun around Give everyone a shot...give everyone a shot, you gotta Pass the gun around And throw me in the local river, let me float away I wake up watching cartoons...the television's on There's a couple of party balloons and all my money's gone She was just a reason to unwind And actually the last thing I could find Why don't you, pass the gun around Give everyone a shot...give everyone a shot, you better Pass the gun around And dump me in the local river, let me float away float away, ah float away Pass the gun around Give everyone a shot...give everyone a shot, why don't you Pass the gun around Throw me in the local river, let me float away Sonny wakes up in the morning, there's a stranger in his bed Someone's pounding on the hotel door, he wishes he was dead I've had so many blackout nights before I don't think I can take this anymore Why don't you, pass the gun around Give everyone a shot...give everyone a shot, why don't you Pass the gun around Give everyone a shot...give everyone a shot, come on and Pass the gun around Give everyone a shot...give everyone a shot, come on Pass the gun around Give everyone a shot...give everyone a shot, you gotta Pass the gun around Give everyone a shot...give everyone a shot, you gotta Pass the gun around Give everyone a shot...give everyone a shot, you gotta Pass the gun around " As with the previous album, 'Zipper Catches Skin', there was not tour to promote 'DaDa'
