Happy Xmas lyrics

[ehambre]

Hello everyone. I'm new here and just want to say i've been a Beatles fan for a long time. I have a question about John Lennons song Happy Xmas. I've been trying to find the answer to what is the correct lyrics right after "for rich and the poor ones"? I've seen three different versions.

the world is so wrong
the war is so long
the road is so long

does anyone know johns original lyrics??

Thank you so much

I looked it up on the John Lennon Universe website and there it says 'The world is so wrong'. These should be the correct lyrics

There does seem to be a lot of confusion over that line, but I've always heard it as 'the road is so long'.

I found a site with John Lennon's handwritten lyrics and you can see that the original line he wrote was 'the road is still long'. I hope that helps!
