"The Fall of Adam" is the seventeenth track on the 2000 release Holy Wood (In the Shadow of the Valley of Death). The song referenced "Celebritarian" for the first time.

The song begins with the acoustic guitar sound. The beginning section of this song is quiet, but the song surprisingly went noisy when in enters its ending section. The song's "noisy" part begin with the line "Do you love your guns? Your God and your government?...".

In the wrapper of Holy Wood cassette, the lyrics of "The Fall of Adam" were not fully written. It only written until the line "Start it over again...". The triple dots were written to show that actually there were the words which was actually available on the song but not written on the cassette's wrapper.

Lyrics

    The Abraham Lincoln town cars
    arrive to dispose of our king and queen
    and they orchestrated dramatic new scenes
    for Celebritarian™ needs
    
    When one world ends
    something else begins
    but without a scream
    just a whisper because we
    just start it over again...
    
    Do you love your guns?
    Your god and your government?
    Let me hear you
    (hey)
    Do you love your guns?
    Do you love your god and your government?
    Let me hear you goddamn it
    (hey)
    Do you love your guns?
    And your god and your government?
    Let me hear you
    (hey)
    Your mother?
    And your father?
    And your baby?
    Goddamn it let me hear you
    (hey)
    Do you love your guns?
    I want your mothers and your fathers
    To hear you say it
    (hey)
    Every single one of you motherfuckers
    Let me hear it from you
    (hey)
    Do you love your guns?
    And your god and your government?
    (hey)
    I wanna hear it from everyone
    I wanna hear you say you want a gun
    Let me hear it
    (hey)
