In response to your comment saying that “in this or any other land” is a tack-on meant only to fit the rhyme scheme, I would like to add my opinion. Although I agree that it may be useless (and I completely agree that the word “just” in the line “that life’s not fair or just” is only used to rhyme with “with simple naive trust”), I think that Tempest might have used that seemingly meaningless line to inform Twilight that nobody can be trusted. I believe that “this” land is Equestria, and “any other land” refers to, well, any other land. The Mane Six (and may I add that is a very cheesy pun) put their trust in not only ponies in Equestria but other creatures from other lands as well, for example the hippogriffs and of course Capper. Perhaps Tempest was mostly referring to Capper, for at that point in the movie where Tempest is singing, Capper’s good side had not been shown yet. She might’ve just been telling Twilight that she shouldn’t have trusted him, and warning her that she shouldn’t count on anybody/pony else. However, I may be totally wrong, and now that I think about it, I guess it wasn’t necessary to say that, for “don’t count on anybody else” (the line before “in this or any other land”) already implies that you shouldn’t trust anyone in any land. Hmm... now I’m wondering whether or not my argument is valid. Oh, well.
