Lyrics
The man who only live for making money
The man solely focused on making money leads a life that may not be happy.
Lives a life that isn't necessarily sunny,
Emphasizes that a money-driven life is not necessarily cheerful.

Similarly, the person working for fame is not guaranteed lasting recognition.
There's no guarantee that time won't erase his name
There's no assurance that time won't erase the fame earned through work.

Introducing a factual statement.
