The southernmost capital city in the Americas, Montevideo is situated in the southern coast of the country, on the northeastern bank of the Río de la Plata.

It was also under brief British rule in 1807. Montevideo hosted all the matches during the first FIFA World Cup. Montevideo is the seat of the administrative headquarters of Mercosur and ALADI, Latin America’s leading trade blocs, position that entailed comparisons to the role of Brussels in Europe.

Should I leave
Just let go of
Everythin', anythin'
Should I stay, try to hold on to
What might have been
But I feel I'm
Wasting my time again
Feel like I have
Nothing left to win
Where were you
When I needed a friend?
There's just nothing, nothing left
As I bleed
Though this wounds aren't
Hurting you they're killing me
And I feel this life ain't
Worth hanging on to tonight
So it's real
Say goodbye, no more you and me
No more fights
Only mine, mine and misery
But I feel I'm
Wasting my time again
Feel like I have
Nothing left to win
Where were you
When I needed a friend?
Is there nothing, nothing, nothing left?
As I bleed
Though this wounds aren't
Hurting you they're killing me
And I feel this life ain't
Worth hanging on to tonight
Ain't worth hanging on to tonight
As I bleed
Though this wounds aren't
Hurting you they're killing me
And I feel this life ain't
Worth hanging on tonight
But I feel I'm
Wasting my time again
Feel like I have
Nothing left to win
Where were you
When I needed a friend?
