Track #11 from CunninLynguists 2006 masterpiece A Piece Of Strange.
The track is produced by Kno and features fellow QN5 label-mate Tonedeff.
Tonedeff finds himself a place he does not recognize, but after some time he realizes that he stands before the gates of heaven, where he faces Saint Peter (Deacon The Villain). Saint Peter confronts Tonedeff with his horrible doings, and at the end sends him to hell.
This track ties in with the story from “Never Know Why”, in which we meet the same character. In this song though, he’s dead.

It’s a reference to the Dallas Cowboys beating their rival the Washington Redskins since the Cowboys are “America’s Team”
He is likely from Texas, as he is a Cowboys fan. Football is immensely popular in the regions of the country where the views described in this song are most popular.
This also serves as a metaphor for Western Expansion, or Manifest Destiny. No one cared about the Native Americans (redskins) who already lived here, and during the times of cowboys and the Wild West the men who did battle with the natives were seen as heroes. Settlers encouraged this “vengeance” against the “savages”, who’s land they were in fact invading and taking. No one was persecuted for killing a Native American.
