Madonna - Set The Right Lyrics






I have read somewhere in a book
That you can change your destiny
If you work enough
you can change your luck
Tell me where I have to be
So I can find this liberty

Don't push me to the left
Don't push me to the right
I don't wanna have to fight
'Cause I know the justice is coming right

Gather up your hopes
Gather up your dreams
Just to stay alive
Is harder than it seems
I lay awake at night
Wondering what to do
Then this all did came to me
We're all changed to the red and blue

Don't push me to the left
Don't push me to the right
I don't wanna have to the fight
'Cause I know the justice is coming right

Don't push me to the left
Don't push me to the right
Just push me straight ahead
And you'll find justice is coming right

To the left
To the right
Have to fight
Coming right
To the left
To the right
Straight ahead
Coming right

I have learned nothing is for free
If my ship goes down
No one's gonna come for me
Soldiers they take arms
And ready for the slaughter
God forgive us all our sins
We were once your sons and daughters

Don't push me to the left
Don't push me to the right
I don't wanna have to the fight
'Cause I know the justice is coming right

Don't push me to the left
Don't push me to the right
Just push me straight ahead
And you'll find justice is coming right

To the left
To the right
Have to fight
Coming right
To the left
To the right
Straight ahead
Coming right

Madonna Set The Right Comments
  1. L.... ....

    All the unreleased (not allowed to be released) songs. All the lyrics. It doesn't take a genius... :)

  2. S.... ....

    💖💖💖

  3. r.... ....

    The pic is very Joan Jetty.

  4. R.... H....

    I hope you like racecar driver. Iam going left left left and jump out the car and picking up a guitar playing music and then helping the world with you and AJ peace out.

  5. B.... ....

    This reminds me of Extreme Occident in her new album

  6. J.... C....

  8. A.... H....

    Going to learn to sing this

  9. H.... S....

    This song sounds finished. It doesn't sound like a demo. I think this was actually supposed to be included in the "American Life" album, but after all the controversy of the first single, maybe Madonna and Mirwais decided to let it out of the album to make it "less political" and "more personal" instead. That's my theory...

  10. D.... B....

    Madonna you are 100% chamlion in voice and style

  11. z.... a....

    Thanks for this song. It's more than I could ask for in music. Madonna can conquer the world..

  12. z.... a....

    I just ran across this song. 2019.

  13. J.... H....

    On tv Liberty dissapeered

  14. J.... H....

    Luberty dissapeered and she came apart

  15. A.... ....

    This song is terrible and y’all know it. 😂

  16. M.... A....

  17. D.... P....

    Amasing Sound

  18. D.... S....

    how was this not released instead of "devil pray." This played to the message of the album way better!

  19. K.... n....

    american life was lack of commercial songs, this could have been a great single, still that album was art

  20. R.... C....

    nice song!!

  21. j.... j....

    wow haha finally i love one of madonnas unreleased songs

    ya right this is simple and hot

    enjoyable danceable to me i wish it would include to madonnas new coming album very soon

  22. j.... j....

    wow i love this song

  23. a.... g....

    WTF THIS IS AMAZING

  24. G.... ....

    why wasnt this included? It's really good...much stronger than some of the released ones!

    G.... ....

    I think it was a decision of last minute to let it out of the album, maybe because of the big controversy of the first single, so Madonna and Mirwais decided to keep the less offensive material included on the album in the end. If you notice, this song sounds finished, it doesn't sound like a demo at all.

  25. J.... E....

    Buen ritmo

  26. L.... A....

    I have read somewhere in a *book*

  27. x.... ....

    First time I'm listening to this and American Life is probably my fave Madonna album. This is a very good song, she actually has lots of good songs that were cut off from her albums and I wonder why she didn't release them as b-sides at least. Many Pop artists have tons of b-sides.

  28. J.... C....

    Madonna has a lot of good unreleased songs. Why wasn't this on the album instead of I'm So Stupid?

    J.... C....

    Jose Cardenas agree with you.

  29. M.... M....

    Her music make me skip from wrighting. She ...have, she already living my life? she give me the order move on, loooking forward there lives love....The greatest of them all, Is Madonna ,MUM of the world ......her heart is the treasure for me

  30. s.... ....

    i loved that era!! love her hair in there..

    s.... ....

    best era for madonna ever. best album in my opinion.

    s.... ....

    Although I love the American Life era and some of her others like True Blue and Ray of Light/Music, Erotica is still my favourite

    s.... ....

    This is also my favorite album

    s.... ....

    Rhianna C Spiers HELL YEAH!!!!

    G.... S....

    Gina Sousa Branco. I know makes me love her even more!

    G.... S....

    Gina Sousa Branco i agree

  38. P.... ....

    Love the music lyrics in opening and second verse could do with some more work chorus and third verse are excellent though 

  39. �.... �....

    Is this Madonna or Lourdes in the pic? 

    �.... �....

    Yeah, but that was a funny observation ... her and Lourdes look so similar, it is scary sometimes!!

    �.... �....

    youcanttrickmeagain wow I did look at this picture like 4x to make sure
    But it's so true she has a youthful face in this photo that I swear i had to look and re-look ! 👏🏼👍✌🏼

  41. A.... R....

    Great...!

  42. R.... G....

    No wonder she didn't publish it... Pathetic.

    R.... G....

    +Rodrigo Garbarino Your pathetic

    R.... G....

    @M a d o n n a Are you allowed to use Madonna's name  and madonna's picture ?
    Though yes i agree he is hot but pathetic. 

    R.... G....

    +olafursson kyllian i'm being objective. i am not the kind of fan that idolatrates whatever she does. if it's good is good and i am the first to shout it to the world but if it is not.... sad, but let's admit it.

    R.... G....

    @Rodrigo Garbarino you reply to the critic but not to the compliment , man are you shallow ! 

    R.... G....

    +Rodrigo Garbarino, let's admit what? Bitch, it is just your opinion, not the world's. Besides, bitch, she is Madonna, what means you should bless yourself and genuflect.

  43. j.... G....

    Love this song!

  44. K.... L....

    Wow where do u guys find these songs? Awesome TY for putting these on here- love it!!!

    R.... C....

  46. C.... S....

    pinche vieja

    C.... S....

    Craig Seamus la puta de tu madre que tiene 5 años??? vente para aca...que te voy a enseñar a comer una polla para que no se te quejen. Amargado

    C.... S....

    gracias me hacia falta

  47. s.... ....

    first time I hear this song, would sound marvelous on the American Life album

  48. a.... ....

    Her vocals in 2003-2004 are the best ! 

    a.... ....

    I disagree. I love this album but best vocals during Evita and Ray of Light :)

    a.... ....

    @mascottie techincally yes but i think they sounded more soulful and more her around the early 2000s

  49. a.... ....

    I love that song: such simple and cool at the same time:) And I looooove Madonna as brunette :)

  50. D.... v....

    why does madonna have so much unreleased songs

    D.... v....

    because she is Madonna

    D.... v....

    It's forbidden. Because many would open their eyes up.

    D.... v....

    Madonna tells the truth in many songs that most Americans don’t want to hear

    D.... v....

    spot on

    D.... v....

    ericlabanowski55 exactly

  51. M.... D....

    Love it!

  52. Y.... A....

    Ok. I’m really jealous of my brother’s best friend right now. He’s actually been available permanently. By a fluke, he has got a model to deeply love him in weeks. How is that actually thinkable? He told me he tried the Cupid Love System (Google it!) I wish someone beautiful told me that… I cannot recall ever before seeing him so content. Sort of makes me feel bad.

  53. P.... M....

    It's fine, but not good enough for the AMERICAN LIFE album standards...

  54. r.... ....

    cool!!!

  55. M.... A....

    beautiful

  56. E.... L....

    Awesome song !!

  57. M.... T....

    OhMyF**kingGooooodessss!!!
    Thanks for that.
    XOX

  58. M.... T....

    Oh thanks Goooood!
    XOX

  59. c.... ....

    She might not be a great vocalist (but she proved that she could really sing in Evita, didn't she?) but she knows how to put emotions in her songs, honestly. Although some other singer would do a cover of her works & would probably sound better, it's not going to guarantee that they'd deliver the emotion. Just listen to Susan Boyle's cover of Madonna's You'll See, sounds good, but lack of emotion! There's a fine line between singing by heart & singing with great vocal!

  60. D.... H....

    Love how you describe her voice as fragile and honest. I usually talk about the breadth and depth of her recording voice - her ability to convey all sorts of emotions from bittersweet, regretful and hurt to sweetness and light. But fragile and honest is so true here. Thanks

  61. c.... ....

    American Life is my favourite album and the unreleased tracks were all my favourite too! Her voice sounded better here compared to her other albums (Like A Prayer and Ray Of Light are different stories though!). I can really listen to 'real' voice. It's just so fragile and honest... The thing with Madonna, she'd always turn the expectations around! Predicts the unpredictable, she's a Queen!

  62. T.... R....

    Yeah, this definitely should have been on AL. They could have at least remixed it to make it more dance-oriented and put it on Celebration as a bonus track like she did with "It's So Cool."

  63. M.... C....

    madonna writes everything, her best song are about her experiences, you don't know anything.... gaga writes her songs, but are really bad lyrics, no logic on them, are stupid songs for kids, she is a fake..... she can do everything but is not well done, she just repeat the beat and words over and over, live she sings well, but she can not dance.... she is just a wannabe of diva

    M.... C....

    :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD True. And deceiving kids... Awww...

  64. A.... M....

    Wow that was brilliant but how foolish of madonna not put this on the album.

  65. H.... C....

    Her voice was very, really very fantastic in this song. Strong, powerful, unique. If she makes an album in this way again, the world will undestand, one more time, that Madonna will be Madonna - forever! There will always have new singer, but Madonna is Madonna, a muse. And her voice touchs our souls as no one does.

    H.... C....

    Her voice helped through so much. I lost my mum when American life came out. And we would sit round the fire and sing nothing fails. It gave me a sense of belonging. To my family and Madonna.

  66. R.... D....

    Very good song!

  67. J.... W....

    Great tune! This would have made American Life even more amazing! American Life will be in 5 years what Erotica is to everyone now - totally underrated for its time but then suddenly appreciated.

  68. D.... ....

    American Life The Best Album !!!!!!

  69. L.... L....

    Her voice was in a lovely shape during this era!

  70. t.... c....

    this is nice

  71. M.... ....

    Decision of not releasing it was one of her greatest mistakes. Let's praise the Lord for the internet!

  72. I.... ....

    Nothing as 'Animal' album does NOT exist. Yep fakes does exist, but Madonna never released official album with songs like Latte, Across the sky, Animal... these song are leaks ;) Nothing officially released ;)

  73. k.... ....

    Yeah agree with all these comments. Great lyrics and cool song.

  74. s.... h....

    i realy love this song!!!!!!! cant get enoufh from it : D greets sam,netherlands

  75. T.... ....

    She looks like Lourdes here lol

  76. B.... W....

    catchy song with great lyrics .. first time hearing it and love it

  77. F.... T....

    love itttttt

  78. S.... M....

    This song would definitely make my list of my top 40 Madonna songs! I have to agree with all the people who would like an album of demos and unreleased songs from the AL album sessions. The most underrated of her entire career.

  79. w.... ....

    Why not mentioned ????such beautiful song lyrics voice and album !!!LONG LIFE MADONNA.

  80. D.... M....

    she looks like lourdes in the picture

  81. N.... K....

    If this were in the album, it'd be my favourite.
    I don't know how can anybody not like AL. It's a masterpiece.

  82. D.... ....

    Im seeing her again in Vegas too:) Oct 13?

  83. F.... T....

    Love it...

  84. M.... S....

    I really liked it. It was kind of underground sounding and too bad this wasn't on it. This is a great song.

  85. l.... ....

    This is totally from the American Life years and it sucks like most of that album. BUT! I loves Madonna and Im seeing her again in VEGAS BABY. but this song sucks.

  86. p.... ....

    American Life is her most underestimated effort. By far her most 'interesting album'

  87. K.... B....

    Precisely! But don't dare tell a GaGa fan (or even an Elvis fan) that Madonna became the number 1 artist in the UK when she released MDNA - it will end BADLY.

  88. K.... N....

    she's so pretty

  89. w.... ....

    Do we have 2 Madonna:the official version and the unreleased one???

  90. s.... m....

    This song is amazing. Madonna, can you make a very engaged album with different political, religious, social and personal themes? An American life II

    s.... m....

    Madame ❌ is American Life II !

  91. D.... ....

    I listened to Girl Gone Wild right before this and just now I realized how much I miss Mirwais and his great productions and sounds (especially at 1:29). Madonna's voice is great here, too. She sounds like...herself.

  92. C.... ....

    My mantra!

  93. S.... ....

    @MarcAngelos91 Agreed!
