It's about being bored with the US running the world (not just exporting its 'culture', but that's part of it).
As far as people dissing ALL rap in this thread and comparing that to this song, don't put words in the late great Joe Strummer's mouth -- he LIKED rap. Magnificent Seven was totally a tribute to early hip-hop, ("don't stop/give it all you got") and The Clash booked Grandmaster Flash as an opening act in some NYC shows.
For what its worth, I have a blog named after this song!
