"Lost in a Lost World" is a 1972 song by the progressive rock band, The Moody Blues. Written by keyboardist Mike Pinder, it is the opening track of their 1972 album "Seventh Sojourn".

"Lost in a Lost World" basically describes some of the terrors caused by evil tyrannical governments and the people they affect. In this spirit, the song contains many strong political references, which include "In their eyes, its nation against nation against nation, with racial pride, sad hearts they hide," as well as "Revolution never won, its just another form of gun." Also, as the song progresses, the line "So Many People!" can be heard numerous times underneath the lyrics.
