This is my personal conclusion, taking into consideration that peace and war were a popular topic in the 60/70s.

Jesus, representing a sacrifice for the good of mankind, can be related to the sacrifices that soldiers make every day. 'I was crowned with a spike right through my head' is a reference to Jesus. 'I was drowned, I was washed up and left for dead' 'I fell down to my feet and saw they bled' Both images of the aftermath of a conflict, falling down to your feet means they were coming from the sky, and may be referencing paratroopers landing to see fallen men. In the lyrics 'I was born in a crossfire hurricane' they allude to a destructive force with a path and direction, as well as a crossfire which is a danger to innocents while two sides fight.'But its alright I'm jumping jack flash its a gas gas gas' Jumpin Jack Flash creates an image of a man, ready to jump into action at a moments notice ex a soldier, while saying its a gas gas gas represents how the conflict is a fuel, something that is consumed for progress/movement. 'Jack' to me is a kind of musical 'Cool Hand Luke,' 'Sometimes 'nothing' can be a real cool hand.' Perhaps 'Jack' is both Keith and Mick and the lives they led and what they had to and will survive. A box of macaroni is a banquet, A simple cot to lay your head is like a luxury bed. He has nothing left to prove, his manhood, even, is 'secure.' 'It was hell but I survived and now everything is gravy.' When you have lived with nothing for so long, faced terrible hardship, then a beater car that gives you independence is like a limo. I think that 'Jack' has been through hell and has come out the other side, different but wiser, maybe more carefree, more content that he has survived what most would't have. Probably not important but the British Hawker Hurricane aircraft was doing a lot of the defense of Kent as the more powerful Spitfires were running raids of their own on German positions in northwestern France. In some ways they WERE both literally 'born in a crossfire hurricane' of WWII. 1943 was at the heart of WWII, when, even though the Germans were no longer bombing London, there were still almost daily air raids by German fighters on the far east of England. It's interesting that both Mick and Keith were born in 1943 in Dartford, Kent.
