The left side of the heart (the left ventricle) pumps blood through aorta into systemic arteries.

The right ventricle is the one in charge of pumping the venous blood into the lungs, where blood gets oxygenated and can then go to left ventricle to be pumped through systemic arteries.

However, the left ventricle does also pump some blood into the lungs: aorta gives off branches (bronchial arteries) that go into lungs and supply oxygen to the cells of lung tissue.

To summarize, lungs get blood from both sides of the heart. From the left ventricle, they get the blood that feeds them, and from the right ventricle they get the blood which they have to fill with oxygen.
