Nothing authoritative about this but I have heard this interpretation. Those
who, on the last day, will be judged negatively (goin' to the place that ain't
so nice) would certainly have objections to this judgement (will try to judge
God for His sentence) but will not prevail (because the evidence will be such
as to silence even those who are condemned). Whether you accept this
interpretation or not, it preserves the passive voice and some semblance of
sense.
