I think this song is a combination of what Wes Gil has said about music and what everyone else is saying about drugs. Almost as if his music is a drug. The biggest drug reference in the song, "when the needle hits the vein" can also be interpreted as a musical reference. Now I know that most of you people on here are post-vinyl but when "needles" hit the groves/"veins" on a record the music plays. Nothing like the real thing.
Also, I think when the songs says "you can't win child/We've all tried too/you've been lied to/it's already inside you" could be a reference to music and how powerful it is. Sometimes when you hear a certain song you can't help but sing it or dance to it. It may just happen to be so catchy that it grabs you from the inside and forces you to act a certain way. Possibly a reference back to this very song.
One more thing: he may not mean Run in a literal sense of the word. If the song is in fact talking about music as a drug, then he is possibly just telling you to dance. Get up and "Move".
