Jumpin' Jack Flash
The Rolling Stones Lyrics

I was born in a cross-fire hurricane
My birth was tumultuous and chaotic

And I howled at the morning driving rain
I reacted loudly and emotionally to the intense challenges I faced

But it's all right now, in fact, it's a gas
Despite the challenges of my past, I am now doing well and enjoying life to the fullest

But it's all right. I'm Jumpin' Jack Flash
I am confident and self-assured in my ability to navigate any obstacle

It's a gas, gas, gas
Life is exhilarating and full of excitement

I was raised by a toothless, bearded hag,
My upbringing was unconventional and perhaps even a little frightening

I was schooled with a strap right across my back
My education was strict and involved punishment for mistakes

I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead
I experienced a traumatic event, perhaps a near-death experience

I fell down to my feet and I saw they bled , yeah yeah
I suffered physical injury as a result of the traumatic event

I frowned at the crumbs of a crust of bread
Even the small things in life can be difficult to enjoy when one is struggling

I was crowned with a spike right through my head
I faced a painful and difficult challenge that tested my ability to persevere

Jumping Jack Flash, its a gas
Referring to oneself as Jumpin' Jack Flash means embracing a carefree and confident attitude toward life
