Land of Sunshine
"Land of Sunshine" adalah sebuah lagu oleh kelompok Faith No More dari album keempat mereka, Angel Dust. Lagu ini ditulis oleh Mike Patton dengan lirik diambil dari dua sumber - kue keberuntungan dan sebuah ujian kepribadian oleh L. Ron Hubbard dari Gereja Saintologi.
Ujian kepribadian tersebut mengandung pertanyaan-pertanyaan sebagai berikut:
12. Do you often sing or whistle just for the fun of it? (“Do you often sing or whistle just for fun?)
52. Does life seem worthwhile? (“Does life seem worthwhile to you?”)
60. Does emotional music have quite an effect on you? (“Does emotional music have quite an effect on you?”)
192. Do you sometimes feel that your age is against you (too young or too old)? (“Do you feel sometimes that age is against you?”)
Kalimat-kalimat berikut diambil dari kue keberuntungan:
- “Life to you is a dashing bold adventure”
- “Sing and rejoice, fortune is smiling upon you”
- “You have a winning way, so keep it”
- “You are an angel heading for a land of sunshine”
- “Pat yourself on the back and give yourself a handshake”
